    DNS

                  Domain Name System (DNS) is a naming system for assigning names to the computers, services, or

                  other resources connected to the network. These names are known as domain names. For example,
                  the domain name in the www.yahoo.co.in URL is yahoo.co.in. This domain name is internally converted
                  into IP address.

                  Web page

                  Web page is a single digital page on the World Wide Web (WWW) that contains information and links of

                  another pages. These are created by using the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML).

                  Website

                  A website is a collection of related pages which are interlinked to each other. A website may contain

                  thousands of web pages.

                  Web Portal

                  Web portal is a website that is specifically designed to provide a single point of access for information.
                  These are also known simply as portals. The major difference between a website and a web portal is
                  that a portal works as a gateway to WWW and provides several services. On the other hand, a website

                  may provide only some limited services.

                  Hypertext

                  The text that has a special feature of connecting one web page to another is called a hypertext.

                  Hyperlink

                  A hyperlink is simply a part of the web page that is linked to a URL. It can appear as text, an image, or

                  a navigational element such as a button or an arrow. When you click on a hyperlink, you will jump to
                  the URL specified by the hyperlink. Hyperlinked text usually looks different from normal text in a web

                  page. It is often underlined, but can be formatted in a number of ways.

                  Bandwidth

                  Bandwidth is the capability of a transmission medium to transmit the maximum amount of data from

                  one computer to another over a computer network in a given amount of time. It is generally in bits per
                  second (bps) or Bytes per second (Bps), Kilobytes per second (Kbps) and Megabytes per second (Mbps).

                  There can be various types of bandwidths which are network bandwidth, data bandwidth or digital
                  bandwidth.
