Can someone help me out with understanding what exactly each of the following means?

PHP 4
PHPMyAdmin
SSH
GT Fileman
SSI
Shell Access
Personal Nameservers (what are they and how they work)
Multiple FTP Accounts
Secure SSL
TCL

Please excuse me if the questions are stupid I'm a newbie...

Hey,
Here you go :

PHP 4 > Its a programming language. The 4 stands for the version number. You can get more information about it from http://www.php.net

PHPMyAdmin > This is a program written in the above language. It makes managing a mysql database much easier.

SSH > This is a more secure version of telnet. It lets you connect to a external computer easily.

Shell Access > you need Shell access to connect via SSH... this access is similar to the windows command prompt...

GT Fileman > dunno what this is :(

SSI > This stands for server side includes. basically, you can include multiple files into one page and display it all together.

Personal Nameservers (what are they and how they work) > basically, every domain needs an address it should point to. Most hosting companies would give you ns.the-company.com, with personal nameservers you could get ns.your-domain.com

Multiple FTP Accounts > you can multiple FTP logins and passwords..

Secure SSL > This is a feature, that will let you encrypt the data you send to a webpage... this increases security of that data...

TCL > This is a programming language for your shell access or command line.

GT Fileman is one of two things either an open source file manager that is no longer being distributed or you are using Gossamer Threads and this is used by that.

Scripting language :).

Programming languages need to be compiled, scripting languages don't ;).
