Basic Web Page Information

World Wide Web: A system of linked servers that distribute pages of text, graphics, and multimedia information to users all over the world.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language): The language of the World Wide Web...a set of simple codes that tells a computer how to display the text, graphics, and other objects that comprise a Web page. The central functional element of HTML is the "HyperText link," which is a word or picture you can click on to retrieve another Web page and display it on your computer screen.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator): A fancy term for the address of a World Wide Web page or other resource.

Host: A computer that provides services to other "client" computers on a network. On the Internet, a single computer often provides multiple host functions, such as processing e-mail, serving Web pages, and running applications.

Server: A computer, or application that provides files, data, or some other central body of information to multiple "client" computers by means of a network.
