Cabinet
Also known as a rack. A piece of equipment that is capable of properly storing and protecting multiple units of computer hardware in an enclosure. Cabinets come in different sizes, the most standard is a 42U (unit) cabinet that is capable of receiving 42 units of equipment.
Co-location
An arrangement that allows a customer to sub-lease space in a cabinet for the intent purpose of storing network and computer hardware. The agrement typically involves providing the customer with a specified amount of power and network connectivity for their devices. The customer is also traditionally allowed physical access to the cabinet that is storing their resources. Co-location space can be provided in single U or Unit, quarter cabinet (about 10U) and half-cabinet (21U).
Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD)
Every country (and a few territories) in the world has a reserved, two letter country code domain that is theirs to use as theySee fit. Some countries run their own ccTLD registry, others outsource it to a private company, and still others sell rights to their ccTLD to third parties to run as theySee fit.

Examples of ccTLDs are .ca (Canada), .us (United States), and .to (Tonga). In general, these are registered by businesses with a coincidental link to the TLD in question.

For example: .to is used more by Torontonians than Tongans and .tv has more American television content than native Tuvalu culture.
