Web and webhosting introduction
?What is the World Wide Web
 The Web is a network of computers all over the world.
 All the computers in the Web can communicate with each
other.
 All the computers use a communication protocol called HTTP.
How does the  WWW work?
 Web information is stored in documents called web pages. 
 Web pages are files stored on computers called web servers.
 Computers reading the web pages are called web clients.
 Web clients view the pages with a program called a web
browser.
 Popular browsers are Internet Explorer and Opera.
How does a Browser Fetch a Web Page?
 A browser fetches a page from a web server by a request.
 A request is a standard HTTP request containing a page
address.
 An address may look like this:
http://www.example.com/default.htm.
How does a Browser Display a Web Page?
 All web pages contain instructions for display.
 The browser displays the page by reading these instructions.
 The most common display instructions are called HTML tags.
 HTML tags look like this <p>This is a paragraph.</p>.
What is a Web Server?
 The collection of all your web pages is called your web site.
 To let others view your web pages, you must publish your web site.
 To publish your work, you must copy your site to a web server.
 Your own PC can act as a web server if it is connected to a network.
 Your own PC can act as a web server if it is connected to a network.
How to host a web site?
 First we need a high internet connection speed .
 Get a DNS hostname for the Internet connection hosting the web site.
 Get a Domain Name form your ISP.
 Get a static local IP address for your computer within your local network.
 Configure the local router to correctly forward connections on port 80 (the
HTTP port) to your web server.
 Configure the Firewall to allow your web server to communicate on port 80.
 Get Apache, a free, high-quality web server program. If you have Windows
XP Professional, you also have the option of Microsoft Internet Information
Server (IIS).
 Replace the default home page with your own web page.
What is a Domain Name?
 A domain name is a unique name for a web site, like msn.com.
 Domain names must be registered. When domain names are registered,
they are added to a large domain name register. In addition, information
about the web site, including the IP address, is stored on a DNS server.
 DNS stands for Domain Name System. A DNS server is responsible for
informing all other computers on the Internet about the domain name
and the web site address.
Static & Dynamic web pages:
 STATIC WEB PAGE: A static web page shows the required information to
the viewer, but do not accept any information from the viewer.
 DYNAMIC WEB PAGE: A dynamic web page displays the information to the
viewer and also accepts the information from the user
Railway reservation, Online shopping etc. are examples of dynamic web
page.
Server-side scripting languages:
 technology in which a user's request is fulfilled by running a script directly
on the web server to generate dynamic web pages.
Server-side scripting languages:
 It is usually used to provide interactive web sites that interface to databases
or other data stores.
 This is different from client-side scripting where scripts are run by the
viewing web browser, usually in JavaScript. The primary advantage to server-
side scripting is the ability to highly customize the response based on the
user's requirements, access rights, or queries into data stores.
 Server-side scripts are never visible to the browser as these scripts are
executes on the server and emit HTML corresponding to user's input to the
page.
 Some server-side scripting languages:
 ASP
 ANSI C scripts
 ColdFusion Markup Language
 Java via JavaServer Pages
 JavaScript using Server-side JavaScript
 PHP
 SMX
 Lasso
 WebDNA
