What is a website?
A Website is a collection of files that you can access through the internet.These files are called web pages.
So a website is a collection of webpages.
An example of a website is www.google.com and www.thecodersshow.com
Each website has a unique name. The website name is called a “domain name” or just “domain”.
Let’s take a look at www.google.com.
The name of the website or the domain name is what comes after www. in a web browser.
So here the domain name is: google.com and the domain name for www.thecodersshow.com is thecodersshow.com
We said a domain name is what comes after www. in a web browser.
So What is a web browser?
A web browser is an application used to access and view websites.Examples of web browsers are:
- Chrome
- Safari
- FireFox
- Internet Explorer.
What happens when we type a domain name in a web browser?
The website will load in the browser. We will be able to see it and navigate through its web pages.The website web pages don't look the same way we see them in the web browser, they are written in code using programming languages.
The web browser acts as a translator to convert the written code to text, photos & videos which are the cool pages we see in the web browser.
