A website is a collection of web pages
(documents that are accessed through the Internet), such as the one you're
looking at now. A web page is what you see on the screen when you type in a web
address, click on a link, or put a query in a search engine. A web page can
contain any type of information, and can include text, color, graphics,
animation and sound.
A website is hosted on at least one web server,
accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private local area network through an Internet
address known as a Uniform Resource Locator. All publicly
accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web.
Webpages are accessed and transported with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which may
optionally employ encryption (HTTP Secure, HTTPS) to provide security and privacy for the
user of the webpage content. The user's application, often a web browser,
renders the page content according to its HTML markup instructions onto a display terminal.
The pages of a website can usually be accessed
from a simple Uniform Resource Locator (URL) called the web address.
