    Study Notes

    Website Definition and Structure

    • A website is a collection of web pages designed for a specific organizational purpose.
    • Websites can be hosted on multiple web servers and utilize a single domain name.
    • The default web page of a website is known as the index page, which is accessed via a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

    Example of a Website Access

    • Example URL for accessing a website: http://www.ignou.ac.in.
    • Accessing this URL displays the index page of IGNOU’s website, from which users can navigate to additional links.

    Client-Server Model

    • A website operates on a client-server model.
    • The client is typically a web browser that requests access to the website hosted on a web server via the Internet.

    Protocols for Web Access

    • Access to a web page involves protocols, primarily based on TCP/IP, the fundamental Internet communication protocol.
    • HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the standard protocol for transferring web pages from server to client browser.

    Secure Web Access

    • For secure transactions, such as online banking, Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is used.
    • HTTPS employs data encryption to safeguard data during transfer, ensuring security for sensitive information.

    Additional Resources
