Internet:
The Internet is a vast network that connects computers all over the world. Through the
Internet, people can share information and communicate from anywhere with an Internet
connection. With the Internet, it's possible to access almost any information, communicate with
anyone else in the world, and do much more. You can do all of this by connecting a computer to
the Internet, which is also called going online.
Web server:
The term web server can refer to hardware or software, or both of them working together.
A web server connects to the Internet and supports physical data interchange with other
devices connected to the web. On the software side, a web server includes several parts
that control how web users access hosted files. At a minimum, this is an HTTP server.

There are mainly four types of web servers – Apache, IIS, Nginx and LiteSpeed.

Web servers are primarily used to process and manage HTTP/HTTPS requests and
responses from the client system. A web server can also perform several other
functions, such as: Store and protect website data: A web server can store and protect
critical website data from unauthorized users.

Client:
In computing, a client is a piece of computer hardware or software that accesses a service
made available by a server as part of the client–server model of computer networks. The
server is often on another computer system, in which case the client accesses the service by
way of a network.

The computers we are using are all examples of clients.

Web browser:
A web browser is a software program that gives you access to the internet. It displays
websites on your screen and allows you to interact with them by entering texts and clicking
on links. A few of the different types of internet browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

Web Page:
A web page is a digital document displayed by web browsers, comprising content like text,
images, and multimedia. It serves various purposes, including providing information,
entertainment, and facilitating communication. Web pages can be static or dynamic, with
dynamic pages often generated from databases or through server-side scripting.
URL:
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a web address used to locate specific resources on the
internet. It consists of several components, including the protocol (such as HTTP or HTTPS),
domain name, path, and optional parameters. URLs provide a standardized way to access
resources like web pages, images, documents, and more.

IP:
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device
connected to a network. It serves as an identifier, enabling devices to communicate with each
other over the internet. IPv4 addresses consist of four sets of numbers separated by periods,
while IPv6 addresses are longer and can accommodate more devices. IP addresses facilitate
data transmission by specifying the source and destination of information packets.

DNS:
DNS (Domain Name System) is a hierarchical decentralized naming system for
computers, services, or any resource connected to the internet or a private network. It
translates domain names, like www.aryaappachu.com, into IP addresses that
computers can understand. DNS plays a crucial role in internet infrastructure by
resolving human-readable domain names to numerical IP addresses, allowing users to
access websites and other online services.

Cookies:
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a user's device by websites they visit. They
serve various purposes, including session management, personalization, tracking, and
authentication. Websites use cookies to remember user preferences, track browsing
behavior, and facilitate features like shopping carts and user login sessions. While some
cookies are necessary for website functionality, others are used for targeted advertising
and tracking, raising privacy concerns and prompting regulatory measures like GDPR
and CCPA.
