Web Architecture and Components
1)
a. How the World Wide Web works.... The World Wide Web is an organisation in which web resources and other documents are identified by URLs as well as interlinked by hypertext documents and can be amassed over the internet.
The World Wide Web works through the http protocol and the servers connected to the web attend requests through the internet. The URL consists of protocol in which the server retrieves the indicated document and creates a response which is sent back to the user.
b. The purpose of ISPs…. An ISP (internet service provider) is an institution and its purpose is to provide assistance to individuals and groups that are accessing the internet. The more popular and bigger ISPs such as BT are less dependent on telecommunication providers as they have their own high speed connection and therefore are able to provide better assistance to their users.
c. The web hosting services that ISPs provide for business…. A web hosting service allows individuals and companies to make their website available via the World Wide Web.
d. What is involved in domain structure….A domain name is a particular name that is used to classify a website. A domain name locates an organisation on the internet. For example the www = the host or
Web architecture is the design and structure of a website, like building a house or a building it must start from the basics in order to work and function properly.
World Wide Web: World Wide Web is a collection of all web pages on the network of computers, where the browsers of computer uses internet.
Scientists in the same year began to create what is known as today as the Modern World Wide Web, the emergence of the modern Internet today. Several online web servers held information on pages of text known as websites, in which they each had their own website name to access (History of the Internet). A new application called the web browser was created in order to access all of the web pages available on the internet to the public. The way the information was presented on the web page was with a hypertext markup language (HTML); this would become a standard format to display informational text (Goel, Tarun). A URL link was also introduced on the web browser as an address to access web pages for the public. The result of the internet had changed how people have done research to access more information and how people have communicated with one another (Goel, Tarun).
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
The Internet is a worldwide communications system that allows millions of computers to exchange information.
As the computers generated a series of numbers known as the IP address, they are quite difficult for humans to remember, so the domain names were created to identify the websites rather than using the IP address. In order to use the domain name, it must first be registered. The domain names have three parts to them. For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfX7mCHbroc. The domain name would be the blue, the top level domain is red also known as the extension and the directory where the web page would be based in green.
A URL (Universal Resource Locator) is defined, according to contests.about.com, as the “other name for a web address or the text that a web visitor types into their internet browser when visiting a website.” [1]. Contests.about.com, states further that once the web visitor provides the browser with a URL, it can find where to go in locating the web page that wants to be visited. The web page symbolizes the “resource” that the browser is trying to locate with a URL. Webopedia.com, defines a URL as the “global address of available documents and other resources on the world wide web.” [2]. Webopedia.com elaborates further that the first part of a URL is known as a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and the second part is the resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. A URL is the address of a webpage or file on the internet. For example, the URL of amazon website is “http://amazon.com”. The address of Amazon’s coupon page is
Web Server – It is where webpages are stored and accessed by computers from. It also stores the documents that are on the webpages.
Domain structure allows programs to access different information. It is a group of computers that ensures the security and management of local accounts, for example the first domain controller. For example take the address https://www.youtube.com/channel/MadMoni. Https signifies hypertext transfer protocol, www refers to the World Wide Web and where the page is. Youtube.com is the domain name which links to a public IP address. Channel is a folder
I will be also talking about the domain structure for example what is involved in domain structure.
Also known as an ISP, these are companies that provide the user their connection to the internet. There is a monthly charge for this service and the user is sometimes required to purchase other services as well such as a phone line and TV service. You also usually receive a modem with your package to allow you to connect to the internet.
Internet service providers are organisations that provide internet connections to people using connected devices (smartphones, laptops etc.). These organisations usually charge a fee to be able to access the worldwide web. Internet service providers are most commonly connected using a phone line (dial up) or broadband connection. ISPs often provide users with subsidiary services such as e-mail accounts web browsers or even web security. In
In our time and with the remarkable progress in the field of Internet, web sites can be
Similarly, if the protocol indicator or hostname is missing from a URL, the browser cannot link to a specific file because they won’t know where and how to look for the file. Likewise, if the folder name is missing, the browser won’t know which piece of information to pull out of the server.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
