Introduction about web server and HTML

What is a web server🤔?

The webserver is part of the computer which stores some files such as HTML document files, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript files, etc. Also, the web server is connected to the internet for getting and sending all kinds of files. Moreover, the web server is a combination of hardware and software which is used hypertext transfer protocol(HTTP) and other kinds of protocols but HTTP is the primary type of protocol for web servers. Furthermore, a web server is used to run a website very nicely. Web server is a client-server model example. If we need to run our website so the web server is very helpful to keep information on the server.

How does it work🤷‍♀️?

As a simple way, the browser sends a request to the web server via an HTTP file and the web server accepts the request then according to the request, it finds the document or information from the internet. After getting the result, the web server gives a response to the browser to explore the result.

Types of Webserver

Static web server:

In this server, it directly goes into the browser without any kinds of changes. It means it shows the same information on the browser through the webserver.

Dynamic server:

This server, consist static web server as well as any extra software such as an application and database to give information to the browser. So in short information is not the same because the application keeps updating the system before sending it.

What is HTML?🧐

HTML stands for Hypertext markup language. HTML is used to create a beautiful webpage of a website. HTML consists of tags and elements. HTML describes the structure of web pages. Also, elements play a vital role to display content on the browser. Moreover, It has two extensions HTM and HTML. In addition to that, using HTML you can define different kinds of elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, etc. In HTML, we need to keep the first page as index.html or default.html. But the most important thing is, we need to keep the first page as index.html because it works in all kinds of browsers rather than default.html.
