How could you know about website? I know, what it is, how it is

People visit many different websites every single day, but not everyone knows what they really are. So let's talk about that. To understand what the websites are, you need first understand what a web page is. In short web page is a text file with bunch of code in it it's nothing special, really. A site (location) on the World Wide Web. Each Web site contains a home page, which is the first document users see when they enter the site. The site might also contain additional documents and files. Each site is owned and managed by an individual, company or organization.

The three primary things to make a website are your domain name, web host and a topic. So, you know you want to create a website, but first you need to consider what the website will be
about. Knowing what the website is about will help determine your domain name. Most domain names are 1 to 3 words that describe what the website is about.

Web pages are written with following three languages: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. HTML is used to describe the structure of the web page
