If a page is visited, the associated domain of the website should be known. This domain is used to reach the website. While the domain name is entered into the browser (Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer, etc.) and the Enter key is pressed, a translation process takes place. In the following, this process is explained in three steps:

If the visitor enters a domain in the URL area of ​​the browser, this domain is translated into its server IP address.
The next step is performed by the server. The translated domain is sent to the user who entered the domain.
The browser of the visitor converts the translated domain into the website and can be viewed by the visitor.
If the process is interrupted, a web page can not be displayed. Basic components of a website are the domain, the web hosting and the page file. We will therefore deal in detail with these components of a website.

Domain name
This post is a guide to domain names. A domain name is based on an IP address. Users without knowledge of internet servers are not able to understand the system of domain names. Questions such as "What is a domain name?" will be always asked.

A brief introduction to the topic "Domain name" for beginners:
The Internet Protocol is a unique numeric identification of a computer in a computer network. This address is used to establish a contact between two different computers. Domain names are equivalent to entries in an Internet phone book. If you do not have a domain yet, there is no need to worry. Many companies offer "domain registrations" for small money. A temporary URL or a subdomain will make your own website look unprofessional.

Web hosting
Web Hosting is understood as space on the server where it has installed internet services such as HTTP (www), FTP (so you download the file) or streaming media (do you see the movie), emails ... Web hosting is often used to store web content or your data.
Web Hosting is also the venue of all transactions, the exchange of information between internet users and your Website. Each website has a host, when you visit that website, you are actually accessing the host contains that website.

Website
The third part of the above-mentioned process consists of the files (to run your website). They are retrieved by your web server when a web visitor enters your domain into the web browser and presses "Return". These are in the same format as the files on your computer, eg video, word documents, .mp3 music file, .jpg images or other static content. The actual web pages have the extensions .html or .php and provide textual information as well as references to multimedial content.
