  ISP: Internet Service Provider ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. It is a company that provides access to the internet and similar services such as Website designing and virtual hosting. For example, when you connect to the Internet, the connection between your Internet-enabled device and the internet is executed through a specific transmission technology that involves the transfer of information packets through an Internet Protocol route. Data is transmitted through different technologies, including cable modem, dial-up, DSL, high speed interconnects. Accordingly, based on the method of data transmission, the Internet access provided by ISPs can be divided into many types, some of which are as follows: Dial-up Internet access:  It is the oldest technology to provide Internet access by modem to modem connection using telephone lines. In this method, the user's computer is connected to a modem with a telephone line. This method has become outdated today due to slow con...

  Web Servers Web pages are a collection of data, including images, text files, hyperlinks, database files etc., all located on some computer (also known as server space) on the Internet. A web server is dedicated software that runs on the server-side. When any user requests their web browser to run any web page, the webserver places all the data materials together into an organized web page and forwards them back to the web browser with the help of the Internet. Therefore, we can conclude that: - A web server is a dedicated computer responsible for running websites sitting out on those computers somewhere on the Internet. They are specialized programs that circulate web pages as summoned by the user. The primary objective of any web server is to collect, process and provide web pages to the users. This intercommunication of a web server with a web browser is done with the help of a protocol named  HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol).  These stored web pages mostly use sta...

  What is World Wide Web? World Wide Web, which is also known as a Web, is a collection of websites or web pages stored in web servers and connected to local computers through the internet. These websites contain text pages, digital images, audios, videos, etc. Users can access the content of these sites from any part of the world over the internet using their devices such as computers, laptops, cell phones, etc. The WWW, along with internet, enables the retrieval and display of text and media to your device. The building blocks of the Web are web pages which are formatted in HTML and connected by links called "hypertext" or hyperlinks and accessed by HTTP. These links are electronic connections that link related pieces of information so that users can access the desired information quickly. Hypertext offers the advantage to select a word or phrase from text and thus to access other pages that provide additional information related to that word or phrase. A web page is given ...

  HTTP HTTP stands for  HyperText Transfer Protocol . It is a protocol used to access the data on the World Wide Web (www). The HTTP protocol can be used to transfer the data in the form of plain text, hypertext, audio, video, and so on. This protocol is known as HyperText Transfer Protocol because of its efficiency that allows us to use in a hypertext environment where there are rapid jumps from one document to another document. HTTP is similar to the FTP as it also transfers the files from one host to another host. But, HTTP is simpler than FTP as HTTP uses only one connection, i.e., no control connection to transfer the files. HTTP is used to carry the data in the form of MIME-like format. HTTP is similar to SMTP as the data is transferred between client and server. The HTTP differs from the SMTP in the way the messages are sent from the client to the server and from server to the client. SMTP messages are stored and forwarded while HTTP messages are delivered immediately. ...
