Six Basic Concepts for Web Development:

1. Domain names, web servers and web hosting

I believe that you know nothing about the inner workings of the Internet; maybe you are not even sure how people actually get to web sites, where the web sites are really sitting, what the web is in the initial place…

In this piece of writing I am going to give you the minimum you need to get your ‘feet wet’ so that you can quickly get into building web sites. I won’t go into sore micro-details that would put all but true nerds to sleep, yet again there is just enough so that you have a basic understanding of what’s going on.

 

2. What is the web?

In a nutshell, the web is a whole bunch of inter-connected computers talking to one another. The computers (on the web) are typically connected by telephone lines, satellite signals, cables or other types of data-transfer mechanisms. A ‘data-transfer mechanism’ is a nerd’s way of saying: a way to move info from point ‘A’ to point ‘B to point ‘C’ and so on.

The computers that make up the web can be connected all the time (24/7), or they can be connected only periodically. The mainframes, which are connected all the time are typically called a ‘Server’. Servers are computers just like the one you are using now to read this article, with one major difference, they have special software installed called ‘Server Software’.

3. What does server do?

Server software is created to serve web pages and web sites. Basically, the server mainframe has a bunch of web sites loaded on it and it just waits for people (via web browsers) to request or ask for a particular page. As the browser requests a page the server sends it out.

 

4. How does a web surfer find a web site?

The petite answer is: by typing in the URL, or in other terms, the web site address. So for instance, if you wanted to find the web site cpron.blogspot.com, you would type in the address into your web browser’s address bar or maybe use your ‘favorites’ or ‘bookmarks’ link to cpron.

There are further ways to find web sites (like search engines) but behind the panoramas web sites are all being found by going to the web site’s official address. That brings us our very last nerd detail: how does a website get an official address so that the rest of the web can find it?

 

5. Domain name needs a reg., why?

If you ever surprised what the heck registering a domain was all about… you perhaps figured it out by now! But just in case- registering a domain name gets you an official address for your web site on the World Wide Web (www). With this ‘official address’, the rest of the web can find you.

Close to your home address is unique in the real world, there also can’t be any duplicate addresses on the Internet, or else no one would know where to go! In other words, domain names are unique addresses on the web.

6. Domain name costs money, why?

If you want to have your own unique address on the web, your own domain name, it might cost a few bucks for each year you want to ‘own’ the name. The fee of registering a domain name ranges from less than $10 USD to about $30 USD per year. You be able to register a domain from 1 to 10 years.

The grounds for the cost is that the central ‘address book’ of all the world’s domain names needs to be updated- somebody’s got to pay for that! You might have noticed that I just snuck in a little extra piece of information: the giant ‘web address book’ of domains.

That escorts us to our last bit of nerd information: when you type in a website’s domain name or click on a link that takes you to that domain name, your browser starts asking servers where that particular domain name is sitting (on the web) and the servers are then able to tell the browser where to go by referring to the giant address book I mentioned above.
