 Introduction to World Wide Web (www) – Part 1

I guess that as a novice you know nothing about the internal activities of the Internet and Web sites. Maybe you’re not even sure where the websites are really sitting. I am going to provide you the least knowledge you should have so that you can quickly create your own website. Let see the starting point.

Definition of web:

Web is a complete bunch of interrelated computers talking to each another. These computers are usually connected by

Digital satellite signals, phone lines, cables and various data-transfer mechanisms. All these computers that make up the web are able to be connected all the time or they also can be connected just occasionally. Computers that are connected all the time are normally called a ‘server’. Actually a server is a computer just like the one you are using at this moment to read the article. But a server has a major difference. They have an extraordinary software installed titled ‘server’ software.

Function of a server software:

Server software is made to serve all web pages and sites. Fundamentally a server computer has a lot of websites loaded on it and waits for public to ask for an exacting page via web browsers. During browser requests the server sends a page out.

Process to find a website by web surfer:

By typing a website address in your browser you can find the home page of the particular site. So for example, if you need to find the website http://www.tastafe.blogspot.com/, you have to type this URL into the address bar of your web browser or you may use your ‘bookmarks’ or ‘favorites’ link to TASTAFE. There are additional ways to locate websites by search engines but in that case you have to use some particular keywords for searching and there is a least possibility to get your targeted website if it doesn’t get optimized strongly. So it is recommended to use website URL.

Domain name registration:

Domain name registration is a vital step for your website and it gets you the official address for your website on WWW or World Wide Web. The rest of the web will find you by this official address. As your residence address is exclusive in the actual world, there also cannot be any duplication in virtual world. Otherwise no one would know about their destination! Domain name is a unique address on the web.
