 INTERNET TERMINLOGY
• Internet Service Provider: A company, which provides users with
an access to the Internet, is known as an Internet service provider
or Internet access provider.
• OSI Model: The Open System Interconnection Model is used to
describe a layered communication and network protocol design of
a network. It is composed of seven layers, each of which performs
certain functions and provides the layers above it with some
services.
• Internet Protocol Suite: It is a set of communication protocols,
which are used for the Internet. Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) were the two pioneering protocols
to be introduced in the Internet protocol standard. The Internet
protocol suite is composed of a set of layers wherein; each layer
provides a service to the upper layers in the set.
• IP Address: It is a way of numerically identifying an entity on a
computer network. The original addressing system known as IPv4,
used 32 bit addresses. With the growth of the Internet, IPv6 came
to be used wherein the addresses are composed of 128 bits. You
might want to know how to find your IP address.
• Domain Name System: DNS, as it is called, refers to the hierarchical
naming system used for computers, resources and services on the
Internet. It translates the computer hostnames to IP addresses. By
way of the implementation of DNS, the domain name
'www.buzzle.com' translates to its IP address, say, 208.70.178.150.
With the help of DNS, domain names can be assigned to Internet
users.
• WWW: It is a collection of interlinked documents that are
accessible over the Internet. It consists of millions of web pages
that contain text, images, voice and videos. Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a
British scientist working at CERN, created the World Wide Web.
• Website: A website is a set of web pages consisting of text, audio
and video. Web servers host websites.
URL: It specifies the location of a resource on the Internet. It
consists of the basic address and path.

Web Page: Web pages are resources of information. They are

generally created in the HTML format and provide the web users
with navigational abilities through hyperlinks to other web pages on
the web.

Home Page: The term home page is used to refer to the page that is
the default page of any website. It is the main page of a complex
website.
Web Server: A web server is a computer program that accepts HTTP
requests from web clients and provides them with HTTP responses.
Web Browser: A web browser is a software application that
facilitates user interaction with the text, audio, video and other
information that is located on the web.
• HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol, abbreviated as HTTP, is a
communications protocol used for the transfer of information
over the Internet. A client makes an HTTP request using a web
browser to which an HTTP response is sent from the server.
Hyperlink: A reference in a document to another section of the
document or to another document is termed as a hyperlink.
Hyperlinks are used to redirect the user from one section of
page content to another.

 Title: Types of search engines
Different types of search engines

When people mention the term "search engine", it is often used

generically to describe both crawler-based search engines and
human-powered directories.
• Crawler-based search engines, such as Google, AllTheWeb and
AltaVista, create their listings automatically by using a piece of
software to “crawl” or “spider” the web and then index what it s
finds to build the search base. Web page changes can be
dynamically caught by crawler-based search engines and will
affect how these web pages get listed in the search results.
• Human-powered directories, such as the Yahoo directory,
Open Directory and Look Smart, depend on human editors to
create their listings. Typically, webmasters submit a short
description to the directory for their websites, or editors write
one for the sites they review, and these manually edited
descriptions will form the search base.
Home page
The term home page is used to refer to the page that is the default page
of any website. It is the main page of a complex website.
