What is this web site?
A web site runs a program called web server. They serve
pages to you. They understand your commands from within your web browser
like submitting a form to the site or doing a search to find pages from
Google.
Let us take Google. When you visit google.com, you are
actually making a connection to Googles web servers and when you enter a
search term and push the search button, it is the web server of Google that
gets the command first. Internally it may be talking to many other servers
to serve you with your command however; googles web server is your first
point of contact.
Understand that web server is a software sitting on
reliable high capacity, fault tolerant servers on the Internet to serve you
web pages.
Two web server softwares in common use are Apache and
IIS.
