How The Fun All Started (Websites That Is)

      The World Wide Web was born in 1990 by CERN engineer, Tim Berners-Lee. On 30 April 1993, CERN made an announcement that the World Wide Web would be free to anyone in the world.   Before the birth of hypertext mark-up language (HTML) and HTTP other protocols such as file transfer protocol and the gopher protocol were used to retrieve individual files from a server. These protocols offer a simplified directory structure which the user moves through and chooses files to download. Documents were most often presented as plain text files without any formatting or were encoded in word processor formats.

     A website (or "web site") is a compendium of related web pages, images, videos or other digital assets that are hosted on one web server, usually accessible via the Internet. A web page is a document, typically written in (X)HTML, that is almost always approachable via HTTP, a protocol that transfers information from the web server to display in the user's web browser.

     All publicly accessible websites are seen collectively as comprising the "World Wide Web" (WWW). The pages of a website can usually be accessed from a common root universal resource locator (URL) called the home page, and usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages organize them into a pecking order, although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceives the overall structure and how the traffic runs between the different parts of the site.

     Some websites require a payment to access some or all of their content and some are free like Cool Websites Weekly.com. Examples of subscription sites include many business sites, parts of many news sites, academic journal sites, gaming sites, message boards, Web-based e-mail, services, social networking websites, and sites providing real-time stock market data. Since they require certification to view the content they are technically an intranet site.
