Proxy

Proxy: Entity that, in the interest of efficiency, essentially stands in for another entity.

Proxy
A server that provides access to files from other servers by retrieving them either from its local cache or from the remote server

Relevance: Currently, I have no association with any proxies. In the future, however, it is my intent to let our ISP maintain a family WebPage.
