What is website – webvlogcenter

Collections of many Webpages are called Websites . It can also be said that a website or site is such a location where many webpages are kept. There is some information in every webpage. Like right now you are on a page of a website, on which page there is information about "what is website". And this webpage is a part of our website . When you click on the second post of our page, a new page will open, that too a webpage.


What is the website

We use an application or software to open the website. Which we call web browser. EX- Google chrome, Operamini, UC Browser. If you do not understand now, then read this ex of mine - it will clear all your doubts, as I said https://webvlogcenter.blogspot.com is this website and when you are on the home page of this site, you will find many posts. What will be seen are the addresses/links of different webpages and nothing else. There will be around 300-400 such webpages on our site. Every page contains some information. Now read this sentence “Collections of many WebPages are called Websites”. Perhaps you must have understood.


Website definition

You should have knowledge about these words given below to understand today's topic well.


Static Web Page

Static Web Page From its name itself, you must have understood that this is such a page. Where everything never changes, the page remains fixed. Whom no one can change them. These static web pages are the same for every new and old user. Whenever you open the website, you must have seen the pages whose content never changes. Those pages appear the same to everyone. But there are some sites, such as Facebook.com whose page contents keep changing all the time and there are different webpages for different users.



Here are some examples of some static web pages. EX- About us page and Contact us page whose content never changes. Hopefully, now it would have become easier for you to understand the static page. Now know dynamic webpage.


Dynamic Web Page

Perhaps you have understood the static web page, then you will understand it very easily. Because Dynamic web page content always keeps changing. Here every user means the page that will open for you will be something else for me. Like when I login to fb, my page will be very different from your fb page.


Dynamic means that the page keeps changing again and again. Similarly, take another example, every web pages of shopping sites also keep changing for every user. Because you must be doing some search but I can open the page to do some other page shopping. Both of these are examples of dynamic webpage. Do you want to make your website of the design of your choice, then you have to teach php, let's talk about it now.


Home Page

The first page of the website is called Homepage. Or when we visit a website, then the page that opens is called Home Page. ex: https://webvlogcenter.blogspot.com/t The page that will open after clicking on it is called the home page of this site. This page resides in the root directory of the website. All these files are also kept in this page index.html, index.htm, index.shtml, index.php, default.html and home.html



Search Engine

Search Engine is a program. Or you can say that this is a web program that searches the Internet for information or questions from the unlimited database of the Internet. The Information Search Engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing) gets its relation is visible in the Search Result page. Like Google does. Every query is searched in the world wide web .


Web Address/URL

The full form of URL is Uniform Resource Locator . This is a formatted text string that is used in Web Browser, email clients or any other software to find any Network Resource. Network Resource can be any files such as Web Pages, Text Document, Graphics or Programs.


Domain

A domain name only tells the name of your website. Only through this people can access the website, this is the identity of the website. The name of the website can be written only by letter and number. Domain name is used to identify one or more IP addresses. Like Microsoft.com, this is the name of a domain, maybe you all will be aware of it. The domain name is written in the URL to identify a specific webpage.


You must have seen that at the end of every blog/website, a name remains separate. Like

 .net

.com

.in

.org

they all represent Top Level Domain. Let us now understand some examples.


.Gov – Government agencies

.Edu – Educational institutions

.Org – Organizations (nonprofit)

.Mil – Military

.Com – commercial business

.Net – Network organizations

.In – India

.Ca – Canada

.Th – Thailand


Types of website – Types of website

Everyday you use the Internet to get some information and open many types of Blogs or Websites.


All these are different types of website. But if all these types are seen then we can divide them into two parts.


1. Static website

2. Dynamic website


So let us now know in detail about the type of website .


1. Static Website

Static website is a website whose web pages are stored in a format that is sent to a client web browser. In simple words, then Static website is a very basic type of website which can be easily created.


For this, you do not need to have any kind of web programming and database design knowledge, but without it you can easily create a static website. Its web pages are coded in HTML.


Its codes are fixed for each page so that whatever information is present does not change in a page and hence it looks just like a printed page.


2. Dynamic Website

Dynamic website is a website that changes or customizes itself many times and that too automatically. To put it simply, a dynamic website is such a collection of dynamic web pages whose content keeps changing dynamically.


These websites access their content from a database or Content Management System (CMS). In such a situation, when you make any kind of change in the content of the database, then the content of the website also automatically changes or gets updated.


Dynamic website uses client-side scripting or server-side scripting, or both, to generate dynamic content.


What is the difference between Webpage, Website, Web Server and Search Engine?

Often people do not know much about these four technical terms because they are very confusing. So let's know about them and also know the difference between them.


Web page

These are documents that can be displayed in a web browser. Web Browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome , Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Apple's Safari. These documents are also called "pages".


Website

It is a collection of web pages which are grouped together and usually they are connected with each other. Often a "web site" is also called simply a "site".


Web Server

It is a computer that hosts a website on the Internet.


Search Engine

This is a website that helps users to find other web pages, for example Google, Bing, or Yahoo.


To understand the things mentioned above, let us use a simple analogy – a public library. We one


Let's understand whatever they do in the library:

1. First search the search index and then find the title of the book you want.

2. Make a note of the catalog number of the book.

3. Then go to that particular section in which you will have that book, then find the correct catalog number, and from this you can book yours.


Let us now compare this library with a web server :


• A library is like a web server. There are many sections in it, which are similar to a web server in which multiple websites are hosted.

• Library has different sections such as science, math, history, etc. These sections are similar to websites. Each section is like a unique website (like no two sections have the same books).

• Books in Sections are like Webpages. There are many webpages of a website, such as the science section (which is a website), there can be books on different topics like heat, sound, thermodynamics, statics, etc. (You can call these webpages).

• In this, that search index is similar to a search engine. Each book has a unique location in the library (like two books cannot be in one place or one place) and which is specified by a catalog number.

• At the same time webpages also have unique addresses. These unique addresses are used to retrieve a webpage from a web server. For this, just the address has to be typed in the address bar of the web browser.
