What is a "web site"?When ever you read something on-line, chances are, you are reading it off someone's web site.
A web site consists of Internet documents written in HTML that are located at a common location. The documents all have a common
hostname, for example http://www.net-bizz.com/index.html and http://www.net-bizz.com/shopping.html are both
unique documents, but have the same hostname. http://www.sisna.com/index.html would be part of a different site.
URLsEvery site has what we call a URL. This is an address that tells the browser where to go to retrieve the desired information.
As above, http://www.net-bizz.com/index.html is a URL that describes where the browser can get the document titled index.html.
DomainsA domain is the name of the site. net-bizz.com is the name of the above site. Domains end with .com,
.gov, .edu, .org, or .net Domains may contain several sub-domain addresses also.
Okay, I understand what a web site is. Do I need one?
