Web server

Now, Let me explain clearly on how your computer receives data from the web.

The Server computer has a bunch of websites loaded on it. These sites are waiting for Browsers to explore.

A computer running Web server software are permanently connected to the Internet, dedicated to maintaining web pages on its hard drive; accessible from outside via Internet protocols, hence must have its own DNS address, and thus physically have its own NAM-->port-->hub-->router connection.

In the other hand, your computer also need software called web browser like Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla and etc to receive data from the Web Server. The Browser can only locate Web by its URL like http://www.nigerlife.tk . This URL is then broken into 3 parts by the web browser

The Parts are

HTTP :- Protocol

www.nigerlife.tk: - Name Server

index.html:- Name of the page

The Browser convert the name server to IP Address like 203.892.11 and uses it to connect  to the machine of the server.
