What are the Internet and World Wide Web?

The Internet is probably the greatest invention of the century. It is made up of thousands of miles of cables running all over the world. It has the reliability to withstand a nuclear war and the versatility to serve literally hundreds of applications. The application that you, and millions of other people, are concerned with the most is - the World Wide Web (or just "Web" for short). You see it every day on TV and in magazines - "visit our Web site at www.ourcompany.com," but what does that mean.

What is a Domain?

 A domain is your phone number on the Internet. www.ourcompany.com is an example of a domain. It is the one way that a person knows how to contact you on the Internet. Each company can have its own domain, but no two companies can share a domain - so it is important  that your company reserve its domain soon. Last year alone, about 960,000 domains were registered. In order for your company to be a real presence on the Internet you need to have your own domain for your web site.

What is a Web Site?

A Web Site is a catalog, brochure, advertisement, or anything else you want - brought to the World Wide Web. A Web Site can explain what your company is about. It can display your products. It can even take orders for your products. A person can get to your Web Site by typing in the name of your domain. A person will keep coming back to your Web Site if your domain is catchy or easy to remember.
