INTERNET – Lightweight explanation about the Internet

After reading about the history of the Internet in the previous article, I will now try to explain the glass on the internet according to my eyes and also the terms related to the Internet. This description language according to my own and I expect will make it easier for people to understand the Internet.

INTERNET

As mentioned previously, the Internet is a combination of many computer (Dekstop PC, laptop, mobile phones, gadgets, etc.) that are linked in many networks. Network itself is a combination of several computers connected to each other and can communicate. Well, the set of networks in the world that this is shaping the Internet. When you connect your device on the network, eg your laptop connected in the hotspot network then you have become part of the internet.

DOMAIN

Domain is an address of the computer that connected to the Internet. According to the leader Wiki, a unique domain name is the name given to identify the server computer as a web server or email server on the computer network or the Internet. The domain name serves to facilitate the users on the Internet during the access to the server, in addition to also be used to remember the name of the server without having to visit the row number of the complex known as the IP address. The domain name is also known as a union of a website such as “wikipedia.org”. The domain name is sometimes also referred to the term URL, or address of the website. [Wikipedia] In other words, the domain is a diversion from the IP address in the form of numbers that is replaced with the letter so that people remember it more easily. Domain also functions as a home address that is identical with homeless. The domain name itself is divided into several categories according to needs, such as. COM website for commercial,. NET network to the Internet,. ORG for an organization,. BIZ for the company’s business,. CO.ID for companies that are in Indonesia, etc.

Let more easily understand it is only the domain ID card number which we can indicate where the location of our house. Of course, to get this domain we have to pay several tens thousand rupiah, or even up to hundreds of millions of rupiah. For a domain that has not registered we can buy with a price between 80rb-120rb rupiah, depending on what category you choose. While for the domain that has been owned by someone we can have depends on the negotiations.

WEB HOSTING

Here’s an explanation champion Wiki, Hosting is a service that provides internet resources, servers, making it possible to rent the organization or individual to place information in the form of HTTP, FTP, DNS or EMAIL.

Server hosting consists of a combination of server-server or a server connected to the high-speed Internet network. There are several types of hosting service that is shared hosting, VPS or Virtual Dedicated Server, dedicated server, colocation server.

Still confused???

Try to imagine you are hosting an Apartment or your own home. Imagine what we have the identity card number of the address, but her house was not there. That means that what we do not have direction. Hosting and domain 2 is unity that can not be separated, so they must have, even though the house still not your own (free hosting) and also a false identity card numbers (free domain), but both still exist. So after we have a domain name, would that we also purchase a hosting (home) we will inside (data / files) that can be visited by people.

Currently, many web hosting package that offers several hosting with competitive price. The price of each package vary depending on the size of the capacity of the house we will buy. The greater capacity of the price will be high. This capacity depends on your needs, how much data you want to share to the people. Hosting of the cheapest prices in the Indonesian rupiah is 1000 with a capacity of 1MB, and unlimited monthly to millions of rupiah. But don’t worry, the free hosting is also widely available here, there, but the new hosting of foreign course that offers free hosting. Of course hosting free hosting with a different pay, you must be one of them willing by their ads, the data can be lost at times and so forth.

DOWNLOAD / UPLOAD

When we browse the internet, and we find a file, the image files, video files, song files, file the application, the main what we find on the internet we can capture and downloading for our use. The term is called downloading. Fast download slow a proccess depends on the connection speed that we have.

While uploads are downloaded from the opposite, namely that the file will be submitted to a place on the internet world.

WEB BROWSER

According to Wiki, also called the Web browser as  software that displays the function and interaction with the documents provided by the web server. Popular browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Web crawler is the type of user agents are the most commonly used. [Wikipedia]

Browser is a tool we used to go to a certain address in the Internet world. This browser is a bridge between the media with data that someone like him who is in a webserver. Browser duty to visualize data desired by the people into various forms of text such as this paper, the form of an image that ignites in a website (as you see this blog). If it does not have a web browser of course you can not access the blog or other website. Web Browser and the famous are often used by people is Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, and others such as Safari, Netscape, etc.

From a website we can provide and receive information and data that is not the amount. But keep in mind that the forms of communication on the Internet is not only located on the website, can also chat, file sharing, and even video streaming.
