I am a junior web developer working for Net-connect network solutions (NCNS). I have been asked to create a report that is going to talk about the following web architecture; Internet service provider, domain structure, domain name registrars and the World Wide Web. I will also be talking about the following key components; mail and proxy servers, routers and browsers. I will also be explaining how the client’s settings will impact the web performance. Lastly I will be explaining the security risks and how to protect data. I will also talk about TCP/IP and the 7 layers of OSI.
Internet service providers – An internet service provider is a company that provides you with an internet connection with a monthly cost. You are able to connect to

Your website would be put onto servers that is being either leased or is owned by that certain web hosting service. A lot of web hosting services like to have their servers in a data centre so that it would be less likely for it to crash etc. All this doesn’t come free of charge; you have to pay a fee which varies in price depending on what service you are willing to receive.
Domain structure – The domain structure is what makes the websites URL. This all depends on where you are from though. The domain structure makes it easier for us to find the websites that we want because instead of writing in the websites IP address which is awkward to do because its several different numbers that is hard to remember, also it takes much longer than just typing in the URL address. The first part of the domain structure is ‘www.’ This is at the start of all web addresses that is on the World Wide Web. The last part ‘.com, .co.uk, .org’ can either show you what country the website is from or what type of website it is. For example, .org means that the website belongs to an organisation such as Wikipedia.org.
Domain name registrar – A domain name is unique name that would identify a certain website and they are wrote from right to left unlike what we are usually used to writing which is left to right. The top level domain is the part of the domain name that is to the very right and it is the
Your domain name is the Internet address that users type into their browser to find your site.
Internet service providers – a service provider (SP) is a company that provides organisations, education, communications, storage, processing, and many other
host name- A name made up of alphabetic, numeric, and some special characters, used to identify a specific IP host. Host names that follow the convention for domain names in the DNS system use a hierarchical design, with periods separating parts of the name.
The domain name register acts like a middle man between the domain registry operator and a domain name registrant the person who has the registered domain name. it also acts like a manager of domain name as it makes them available on the internet in accordant with the giving guidelines
A web hosting company allows business big and small, also individuals to make their websites accessible on the internet over the WWW (World Wide Web) hosting companies provide space on a server, this can be rented space or the actual server itself can be owned by the client. Everything that is stored at a data centre sits on a server, a server is basically a powerful pc that is capable of storing different data, or websites, that are then accessible through the network of the internet.
There first on is shared web hosting that is less expensive and mostly used by small business companies with less no of pages and less features too. The expensive dedicated web hosting is used mostly by the big multinational companies in the market, where more powerful computer languages are used to make the website more impressive.
Financial influences on a site are a clue that the information may be biased. “.com” at the end of the address indicates that the site is a commercial one. “.gov” indicates that the site is maintained by a government entity. “.org” indicates that the site is nonproprietary; the site may or may not have reliable information, but it does not profit from its activities. “.net” can have multiple meanings.
Web developers often work as part of a team in putting together websites. There are web architects, web designers, and webmasters. Each of these types of web developer usually has a specific area that they specialize in. Web architects, also called web programmers, are involved in the technical aspect of the website. They are the "big picture" people who oversee the construction of the website and take care of making changes to the website. Web designers are in charge of the layout and graphics of the site. They are usually familiar with different computer languages, such as HTML or Java. Webmasters take care of day-to-day operations and step in when there are problems, such as broken links or customer complaints.
A website URL or domain name is one of the most important parts of the website. It enables visitors to view the contents of a website.
The Domain Name System is most often described as the Internet’s phone book or address book. All of us Internet users use it on daily basis without even realizing it. Its basic task is to convert human-readable website name like coursera.org into its computer-readable numerical IP address like 107.21.240.231.Since such strings of numbers are difficult for humans to memorize, DNS allows you to assign a domain name, such as facebook.com to you IP address. So, the domain name is simply an address on the Internet. It has to be unique just like physical address or phone number.
Definition: This is the business of supplying server space for storage of Web sites on the Internet, and sometimes the provision of ancillary services such as Web site creation. The domain name, such as www.Google.com, this site is linked to an IP address, this is then linked to a specific
I am going to talk about and describe what internet service provider is, web hosting, DNS, Domain registrar, and World Wide Web.
Domain structure mainly consists of information to the left of a web address and the letter combination to the right of it in a Web address. The content to the right of the punctuation is the domain, while the content on the left of the punctuation is the domain name of the website. This single method of organising a domain name allows easier access to websites as everyone knows how to set the URL out.
ISP’s also known as Internet Service Providers are companies that provide access to the internet for a cost, this is usually charged monthly and will normally give you unlimited access to the internet. The ISP’s will normally get their internet or “product” from a higher company that will only sell to ISP’s. They will charge the ISP’s for the internet and they in turn will charge a considerably higher fee to their customers so they can access the internet.
The first part of an URL is scheme. Protocols like http, https, ftp, mailto, file and data that are registered with the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) are used in the scheme. This part of the URL determines that the website should be accessed by using which protocol and what port. The accessing computer should have access to the website and the particular port (for e.g. Port 80 for HTTP) must be open. The double (//) forward slashes are optional. Then comes the username and password pair with @ which is required to access the domain’s backend using ftp protocol and you need user credentials to access. Domain name is like the name for this site. On the World Wide Web each computer has unique IP, and in order to access this computer or the data in that computer we would have to know its IP to establish a connection with this machine. However remembering an IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) is not easy so this IP addresses are linked with domain names which are
