HOW SERVER WORK AND IT'S COMPONENTS ?
Components of Server:
👉IP address
Every single server in the world has its own address. This is called an IP address, which is short for internet protocol. All you need to know is, it’s a long string of numbers that means any device connected to the internet can talk to the server and find it. Luckily, you don’t need to understand what they’re saying to each other; all you need to do is choose a nicer name to reference that numeric IP address.
👉Web Address
The web address, or ‘domain name.’ It’s the thing you type into the browser window to get to any website. Like www.google.co.uk or www.yourDomainNamegoeshere.com. Let’s take a minute to break it down. Everything after the ‘WWW dot’ is actually what’s known as the domain name. Any device that searches for this address — a tablet, a smartphone, a laptop — is communicating with the server.
👉How server works
The server then sends that device all the correct pieces it needs to display the website — things like images and code — so that whoever is on the other end of the device can view your pages. When someone types your web address into their browser, here’s what basically happens. First, their browser figures out which server holds the content, and heads over to that server. The browser then says, “Hey, would you mind giving me all the elements I need to show a person this web page?” The Server replies, “Sure, I’m sending along 5 images, 2 scripts, and a few additional files.” The browser puts all the pieces together, and the person sees your nicely formatted web page. And that’s pretty much it, except they’d actually be talking in really confusing bits and bytes, not English. But that wouldn’t make any sense to us.
