What is Website in IT?

A website is a group of web pages that share a name and are on the Internet. Websites can be about anything, like news, education, shopping, entertainment or social media.

Web pages are files that use HTML, which is a language for making web documents. HTML tells what a web page has, like headings, paragraphs, images, links, forms, etc. Web pages can also have other things, like scripts, stylesheets, multimedia, and interactive elements.

To see a website, you need to type its name into a web browser, which is a program that shows web pages. A name matches a number that tells where a website is on the Internet. For example, the name www.geeksforgeeks.org matches the number 104.20.70.85.

You can also see a website by clicking on a hyperlink, which is a text or image that takes you to another web page or thing on the same or different website. Hyperlinks make the World Wide Web (WWW), which is a group of websites on the Internet.

Websites can be made and kept by anyone for any reason. Some common kinds of websites are:

• Static websites: These are websites that are the same for everyone. They are made using only HTML and CSS, which is a language for how web pages look. Static websites are easy to make and keep, but they can’t do much.
• Dynamic websites: These are websites that change depending on what you do or want. They are made using languages like PHP, Java, Python, etc., which let the website make web pages from data or other sources. Dynamic websites can do more, but they need more skills and things to make and keep.
• E-commerce websites: These are websites that let you buy and sell things online. They have things like products, carts, payments, orders, reviews, etc. E-commerce websites can be made using platforms like Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, etc., which give you templates and tools for making online stores.

• Blogs: These are websites that have posts or articles by one or more people in order of time. They have things like comments, categories, tags, archives, RSS feeds, etc. Blogs can be for personal or professional use, like sharing thoughts, stories, knowledge, news, etc. Blogs can be made using platforms like WordPress, Blogger, Medium, etc., which make it easy to write and show posts.
• Social media websites: These are websites that let you make profiles and talk to other people through different ways,
