Hoe does a website works? What is web hosting?
Ans: Like mentioned earlier too, this is the age of Internet. Shopping, ticket booking, studies, games, services, all these are happening from the comfort your house by this miracle of modern science, Internet. But how many of you know how exactly a website work?
Let us take our own website wbfilms.ga . wbfilms.ga is the name of website & it is called a Domain in internet terms. Website actually is a collection of documents and files made up of text, graphics, colors, links etc. stored on our web hosting servers (hosting server- on this we will talk soon). So, the domain name acts as identifier for any website.
A web hosting server is an Internet hosting service provider. It is where all the files of any domain name are stored. It allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.
When you type a domain name viz. wbfilms.ga in your web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc. your browser sends a request for hosting web server where the files of the website are located. When connection gets establisher, your browser downloads these files from that server in the form of html files or document, as well as images or videos, and renders them on to your computer screen.
Web hosts are companies that provide space on a servers owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet-connectivity, typically in a data center.
To operate a website, only a domain name is not sufficient. One must have hosting services provider or host himself which usually is way too costly for common man. Big companies such as Google, Facebook etc. have their own servers.
