World Wide Web (WWW) or Web

The World Wide Web—usually called the Web for short— is a collection of
websites or documents stored on web servers which you can access through the
Internet. Web is a worldwide network that makes electronic information
available to users. WWW is not the same as the internet. WWW is just a sub
network within the Internet.

The web is based on Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the latest
Secured Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPs). Web developers use artificial
web language called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create Web
pages for websites and store the Webpages on special storage computers called

servers. Each webpage of a website stored on the web server has an address
called Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or Website address. Computer users
use web browsers to access the information on the web pages stored on web
servers.
