How does a website work?
To give you a good introduction to what a website is, it will be necessary to explain what happens when you visit a website. For example, when you visit our website, there are three elements that must work together, and that is the domain , the server and the browser .
- The domain is the address you enter, which will then be www.fjellvann.no
- The server is the place where the website is stored.
- The web browser is the tool that retrieves and shows you content such as text and images.
This process happens automatically in the background every time you visit a website.
