mailbox
A mailbox is the repository into which email associated with one or more email addresses is sent ó essentially a private, virtual inbox that receives and stores email until you delete it. Each mailbox must have a unique email address, but (for Business Mail users only) it can also receive and store mail sent via a mail forward, or alias, which acts as an extra address for that mailbox.

mail forward (alias)
A mail forward, or alias, is an extra email address for a mailbox. A mail forward does not have its own password or mailbox; rather, a mail forward redirects (forwards) mail to a specified mailbox. The mail forward feature is included in the Yahoo! Business Mail service. Learn more about mail forwards.

megabyte
A megabyte equals about 1,000 kilobytes (actually, 1,024KB), and approximately 1,000,000 bytes. A byte is the smallest unit of data measurement in computers. The following conversions will give you an idea of how big a megabyte is:
1,000 bytes (B) = 1 kilobyte (KB)
1,000 kilobytes (KB) = 1 megabyte (MB)
1,000 megabytes (MB) = 1 gigabyte (GB)
Yahoo! Web Hosting measures disk space and data transfer in megabytes.
meta tags
Meta tags are little bits of HTML code that provide information about a page but are not viewable by the user in a browser. Most search engines examine a page's meta tags, which usually include a page title, description, and keywords, to index the page and help determine its ranking in relevant search results. Although not the only way to elevate your site's search engine rankings, adding meta tags to your pages can help. Learn more.
