What is a Website?

A website is a collection of interlinked web pages hosted on a server and accessed via the internet. These pages are built using web
technologies like HTML (for structure), CSS (for styling), and JavaScript (for interactivity).

Websites can serve a variety of purposes, from providing information to offering services or entertainment.

A website is essentially a digital platform where individuals, organizations, or businesses can share information, provide services, or
interact with users over the internet. It is composed of a series of web pages, which are documents formatted using HTML
(Hypertext Markup Language) and styled with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). These web pages are connected through hyperlinks,
making it easy to navigate from one page to another.

Websites are hosted on a web server, a specialized computer designed to store and deliver website files to users. When someone
wants to access a website, they use a web browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari) to send a request. The
browser communicates with the server to retrieve the necessary files, such as text, images, and videos, and then displays them on the
user’s screen.
