                     environment.

                     Database server: A computer that stores and manages databases, allowing other computers
                     on the network to access data.
                     Network server: A computer that manages network traffic, ensuring efficient data flow and
                     connectivity among networked devices.
                     Web server: A computer that delivers Web pages and other Web content to client computers

                  Client

                  A client is a computer that relies on a server to provide specific resources. For instance, if a server
                  hosts a network version of Microsoft Excel, all client computers on the network can access and
                  use that version of Excel through the server.

                  Internet

                  The Internet is a global network connecting millions of computers and networks around the
                  world. It enables users to access and exchange information across the network. With billions of
                  websites, the Internet offers a vast array of information and services.
                  Intranet

                  A private network within an organisation that uses Internet technology to securely share company
                  information and resources among employees. An intranet restricts access to authorised users
                  within the organisation, unlike the Internet, which is a global network accessible to the public.
                  URL

                  URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is the address used to find a specific Web page or
                  resource on the Internet. It tells your Web browser where to look for information. For example,
                  www.google.com, www.rediffmail.com.
                  ISP

                  ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. It is a company that offers Internet access to customers,
                  usually for a monthly fee. Some examples of ISPs are Airtel, Vodafone Idea (VI), BSNL (Bharat
                  Sanchar Nigam Limited), MTNL (Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited), and Jio.
                  IP Address


                  An Internet Protocol (IP) functions as a directory for the Internet. It translates user-friendly
                  website names (like www.google.com) into numerical IP addresses that computers use to locate
                  and connect to the website. This system simplifies Web navigation, allowing users to visit websites
                  using easy-to-remember names instead of complex numerical addresses.
                  DNS

                  Domain  Name System (DNS) is a naming system for  assigning a name to the computers,
                  services, or other resources connected to the network. This name is known as a domain name.
                  For example, the domain name in the www.yahoo.co.in URL is yahoo.co.in. This domain name is
                  internally converted into an IP address.
