IP ADDRESS

IP address stands for “Internet Protocol address.” The Internet Protocol is a set of rules for
communication over the internet, such as sending mail, streaming video, or connecting to a
website. An IP address identifies a network or device on the internet.

An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a series of numbers that identifies any device on
a network. Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other both over the internet as
well as on other networks. Read on to learn how IP addresses work and why it’s so important to
protect yours with dedicated privacy software

There are two types of IP addresses

IPv4

IPv6

• It’s easy to recognize the difference if you count the numbers. IPv4 addresses contain a
series of four numbers, ranging from 0 (except the first one) to 255, each separated from the next
by a period

• IPv6 addresses are represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, with the groups
separated by colons

The purpose of an IP address is to handle the connection between devices that send and
receive information across a network. The IP address uniquely identifies every device on the
internet; without one, there’s no way to contact them. IP addresses allow computing devices (such
as PCs and tablets) to communicate with destinations like websites and streaming services, and
they let websites know who is connecting.

www

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a network of online content that is formatted in HTML and
accessed via HTTP. The term refers to all the interlinked HTML pages that can be accessed over
the Internet. It is all the Web pages, pictures, videos and other online content that can be accessed
via a Web browser. The Internet, in contrast, is the underlying network connection that allows us
to send email and access the World Wide Web.

The early Web was a collection of text-based sites hosted by organizations that were technically
gifted enough to set up a Web server and learn HTML. It has continued to evolve since the original
design, and it now includes interactive (social) media and user-generated content that requires little
to no technical skills.

DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used to

DHCP will assign new IP addresses in each location when devices are moved from place to
place, which means network administrators do not have to manually configure each device with a
valid IP address or reconfigure the device with a new IP address if it moves to a new location on
the network.

DHCP runs at the application layer of the Transmission Control Protocol/IP (TCP/IP) stack to
dynamically assign IP addresses to DHCP clients and to allocate TCP/IP configuration information
to DHCP clients. This includes subnet mask information, default gateway IP addresses and domain
name system (DNS) addresses.

DNS

The domain name system (DNS) is a naming database in which internet domain names are
located and translated into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The domain name system maps the
name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate that website.

Web browsing and most other internet activities rely on DNS to quickly provide the
information necessary to connect users to remote hosts. DNS mapping is distributed throughout
the internet in a hierarchy of authority. Access providers and enterprises, as well as governments,
universities and other organizations, typically have their own assigned ranges of IP addresses and
an assigned domain name. They also typically run DNS servers to manage the mapping of those
names to those addresses. Most Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are built around the domain
name of the web server that takes client requests.

DNS servers convert URLs and domain names into IP addresses that computers can
understand and use. They translate what a user types into a browser into something the machine
can use to find a webpage. This process of translation and lookup is called DNS resolution.

HYPERLINK

A hyperlink, also called a link or web link, contains an address for a destination and acts as
a reference to data. A user can easily follow, jump to, and be directed to the destination by either
clicking, tapping on, or hovering over the link.

A hyperlink is a word, phrase, or image that you can click on to jump to a new document or a
new section within the current document. Hyperlinks are found in nearly all Web pages, allowing
users to click their way from page to page. A hyperlink is an element in an HTML document.

DYNAMIC AND STATIC WEBSITE

A static website is made up of webpages created using HTML, CSS and JavaScript (all examples
of web development languages). Each page on a static website is stored as a single HTML file,
which is delivered directly from the server to the webpage exactly as is. This content essentially
becomes a part of the design on your page, and won’t change unless the original HTML file is
edited at a code level.

One of the most characteristic aspects of a static site is that every user receives and views the
exact same content. Because of this, static websites work best for sites with fewer pages that don’t
require frequent updates or changes
DYNAMIC WEBSITE

IS built using server side language and technology, dynamic websites allow for the content of each
page to be delivered and displayed dynamically, or on-the-fly, according to user behavior or from
user-generated content.

With a dynamic website all of your data and content are organized in a database or backend
Content Management System (CMS), which connects to your website pages. The way this
information is arranged and connected to your site’s design controls how and when its content is
revealed on a page. Generally, dynamic websites are those which are content heavy and user-
driven. Let’s say the main purpose of your website is to act as a real estate listing website. You’ll
need to generate hundreds of pages to list hundreds of available properties. In order to improve the
functionality of your site and accommodate a user’s intent, the content on these pages will need to
reflect the real-time availability of properties. Using dynamic pages will be the most efficient way
to display these changes on your site. Event websites, eCommerce websites, online forums,
membership websites, portfolio websites and blogs are some other types of websites that benefit
from being dynamic.

Stages on developing a website

1. Gather information. To ensure that your web design is on the right path, gathering information
about the business is necessary.

2. Planning. After you have gathered sufficient information about the website, it’s time for the
creation of sitemaps and wireframe. A sitemap is made with the information collected in the first
stage. Other than that, decide what functions and feature you want in a site. This function includes
login, email subscription, admin, live chat, and so much more. Sign up for our exclusive

3. Design; the web design is created according to the target audience. A website that you are
designing for school is entirely different than what you are designing for goods. Other things to
keep in mind are a theme, color contract, where to place text, images, videos, etc. The design
layout will structure your page is a systematic manner so that it would look appealing.

4. Development; in this stage, the design of your website is now under developers to run the codes
on it. A web developer will use codes on the site to make it function and run smoothly. It is the
most crucial step in development as the graphic design in the previous stage comes to life. As per
sitemaps, a home page is first designed than the other pages

5. Content writing; after the development process, now it’s time write the content on your website.
Excellent and engaging content is necessary to grab the attention of the people. The content should
be modified for the website with headings, subheadings, tags, etc. so that people can find what
they are searching. Content writing is where you need to write and publish content all the time so
as to fulfill business objectives.

6. Testing; it is another routine part of the web development process. Every pages and links are
tested before launching the site to make sure nothing is broken. Check every form, script, and run
spelling check software so as to find possible typing errors. Use code validators to make sure if
your code follows the current web development standards.

7. Maintenance; once a site is launched, doesn't mean the end of services. To avoid further
inconvenience, most developers are happy to provide maintenance services. There are many tasks
to be carried out by the company such as giving customers the source code and project documents,
working on feedbacks and the post-development support.
