Summary
The internet is a global network of connected computers and devices that allows people to share and access information worldwide. It works like a Wide Area Network (WAN), connecting millions of smaller networks.
The World Wide Web (www) is a part of the internet that consists of websites, web pages and services, like apps. It is accessed through web browser. Web servers host websites, and clients (users) access them using URLs or web addresses.
When you type a web address in a browser, it sends a request to the Internet Service Provider (ISP). The ISP uses Domain Name Servers (DNS) to find the web server's IP address. This unique IP address helps route the request through routers to the correct server.
Once the web server receives the request, it sends the web page back to the user's browser. Cloud storage is often used to host websites and store data.
