Better Essays

The World Wide Web was planned by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 with the first successful test taking place in 1990. It is a collection of internet servers that support formatted documents in a mark-up language called HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) that can contain hyperlinks leading to other documents such as images, videos and graphic files.

A domain structure is a collection of computers which maintain their own security and account management locally. All logins are on the domain and locally logged in users have their own files and application servers. Companies generally have domains for each sector of the business.

Domain name registrars are a company that controls the reservation of internet domain names. The user will pay a fee to the company so they can keep the domain name; this fee can be monthly or just a flat fee. The domain name registrars use systems to translate IP addresses into easily recognizable domains. A domain name registrar must be recognised by a generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry and also a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry, however only one will sometimes only need to be recognised.
