Internet Web Servers and HTML

In to create a web page , a host must be first be found , or created . The Internet host is a site where the web page becomes available for view by users on the world wide web . While web pages can be hosted by an individual , most people prefer to use a host site as a service provider to do so for them . An Internet host provider does everything needed to

make a web site available to others . The host provider will usually charge a fee for their services , although in some cases it is free . Most host providers can also sell a domain name (for instance www .johndoe .com . They will provide space on their server for web pages and may provide an interface control panel for installing scripts , which eases users ' accessibility to the site (such as providing a link for Email communication

After the Internet host provider has been selected , it is then up to the owner of the web site to provide the pages that will appear on the Internet . This is done by creating HTML (hyper text markup protocol pages that are transferred to the server via FTP ( transfer protocol . An easy way to create web pages for a site is to use a software editor such as Microsoft 's Front Page . Front Page is available as part of the Microsoft Office Suite and can integrate documents from Word or spreadsheets from Excel into the web page . Front Page is user friendly the software lets users input the text and pictures they want on a web site page as if they were using a word processing program (i .e , there are buttons to make letters bold , italic , colored , etc instead of having to insert the correct HTML code (which translates the look and placement of items on the Internet . Front Page then takes the information and converts it to HTML language . Once the pages are complete , Front Page will transfer the pages to the Internet host provider where they will be stored , using the account name and password via FTP . Once the pages have been uploaded to the web site , it is then visible and accessible to any user of the world wide web
