Internet Basics. Internet Service Providers.


Internet Basics. Internet Service Providers.

Some people think the "Web" is the same as the Internet. No, it's not. The Internet actually consists of five major services:

1. World Wide Web (Web),
2. Electronic Mail (E-mail),
3. Newsgroups (Usenet),
4. Internet Relay Chat (IRC),
5. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

1. World Wide Web (Web). If you read this... You use World Wide Web (Web)! Congratulations! Internet address (URL - unique (sorry forget about what is R for) location) of this page is /internet/ or /internet/ or /internet/index.html. Please remember index.html or index.htm usaully used as a default page in each dir of any site. Understand?

2. Electronic Mail (E-mail). For example if you decide to drop me a short message you will use actually Electronic Mail service of Internet. Most people only concern themselves with the Web and e-mail.

3. Newsgroups (Usenet). There are several ways to access NNTP / Usenet services. Search for the words Usenet servers or Free NNTP to find Web-based and traditional Usenet Newsgroup access.

4. Internet Relay Chat (IRC). There are many popular chat and instant messaging applications in Internet such as mIRC, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc.

5. File Transfer Protocol (FTP). For webmasters. I use this feature of Internet to upload the web page on server. You now download it using World Wide Web (Web). It works this way everywhere in Virtual Space.

So our short Internet Basics over. Now let me introduce to you best Internet Service Providers.

9. Sitemaps :: Webmasters use sitemaps to inform search engines about pages that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (how often it usually changes, when it was last updated, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can intelligently crawl the site. Sitemaps are a URL inclusion protocol and complement robots.txt, a URL exclusion protocol. Sitemap file sitemap.xml should be placed at the root directory of HTML server.
