What is a search engine?
When looking for information we type our request on a search engine.



What are websites?
Websites are collection of information- a virtual store.

What are web pages?
Websites of collection of individual web pages and each web page will have an url.

Ho, then what is an url?
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. URL is the address of the webpage. Most of them start with www. Every web page has a URL. An URL is basically a domain name.

What is Browser?
Browser is what allows us to view the web pages. Some examples of browsers are: Internet Explorer, Firefox.
A web page can be made viewable through two components.
One is Domain name and the other is Hosting.

What is domain name?
Domain name is the address for the website. It can be bought by paying the amount. The companies from which we get domain names are called registrars.
Domain name must be simple and clear and common. .com is mostly preferred.

What is a hosting account?
The website has to be connected to World Wide Web in order to make it available. And a hosting company does that. Hosting company has powerful servers and when we send our files to them they upload it on the server. Server is a powerful computer that stores the files of many users. Hosting company will provide two things. One is bandwidth and the other is disk space for the files.
Bandwidth is the speed at which the data travels.
Disk space is the space occupied by us from the host. The spaces can be measured increasingly in the order of
      i.        Kilobytes
    ii.        Megabytes
   iii.        Gigabytes

What is Name server?
Name server link together the host with the registrars.
You only need to change the name servers only if your host is different from the registrars.
