Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate with
each other through networking protocol. The clients send requests to the servers and the servers
respond immediately with the required data.
The server stores the files and information in the form of websites. A website is a collection of web
pages. A web page is a document that contains text, graphics, videos, audios and links to other
pages. Every web page of a website has a unique address called Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
We can use this URL to access any web page from anywhere in the world. Have you ever wondered
how these web pages are created? HTML is the most widely used language to design web pages.
