Website

A website is a collection of web pages that are connected and available on the internet under one domain name. Websites are used to share information, offer services, sell products, or entertain users. You access a website using a browser.

How it works

When you enter a website address, your browser sends a request to a server where the website is stored. The server sends the content back, and your browser displays it on your screen. This happens in just a few seconds.
