The internet, otherwise referred to as the World Wide Web, is nothing more than a series of computers that have been interlinked. This means that, if you want information and you know its address on the internet, you type in its URL, or Uniform Resource Locator. This address will, hopefully, take you to that page. Each page is hosted on dedicated servers which, basically, are computers in their own right: each page can be viewed on request. Each page is hosted by these dedicated servers: in other words, dedicated servers provide a service known as web hosting to individuals who own the pages and wish to have those pages shown on the internet. The Unique Address Without using a web browser such as Google to locate the page you require, how will you find it? If you know its URL, you can type this into the browser bar at the top of your browser page. However, the URL that you type in is not what the dedicated servers actually see: they interpret data in terms of numbers so, if you type in a common URL such as Googles, and ask what their IP address is, you will actually come up with a variety of different numbers. Internet Protocol Address As an example, the result you could get is 72.14.207.99 but, it really depends whereabouts you are in the world and which one of Googles dedicated servers you get hold of. So, an Internal Protocol address, or IP address, for Google is 72.14.207.99, amongst others. Your internet service provider will provide you with your IP address. This is unique to your own personal computer and is not shared with another pc anywhere: this is an identifier that can pinpoint where your pc is on the internet network. When a prospective internet user wants to call up a page on the internet page, that internet users IP address contacts the IP address of the page the internet user wants to look at. Pinging Across Dedicated Servers Information is transmitted in sets of numbers such as the IP numbers from one dedicated server to another and, basically this is how data is transferred around the World Wide Web. Data is transferred across a set of dedicated servers, literally pinging from one dedicated server to the next until the data reaches its destination. If you are the prospective internet user and your request has reached its target server, their replying data will come back to you in HTML format, with a request for your IP address. Once the other computer server receives the information it requested [your IP address] then it will release the information to you by displaying its web page to you in graphic format. Speed is Everything The speed with which a web page uploads is directly dependent upon the power of the dedicated server. If a dedicated server is not sufficiently large enough for all the traffic that it attracts then it will be far too slow and result in a lag-time as the internet page takes ages to load up. Similarly, if there are high volumes of data exchanges, a dedicated server will take longer to load. The importance of this for the everyday internet user is especially relevant if you have your own web page and you are looking for a web host to provide you with hosting services. A sufficiently powerful dedicated server is certainly one of the more important aspects when choosing a suitable and appropriate web hosting service.
