How the Web Works

When you enter a Website address in your browser or click on a link, a lot goes on behind the scenes to get you the information you're looking for. Here's a brief overview of the process of viewing a Web page.

Diagram of how the Web works

When you view a Website, your browser first needs to find the Web server that it will download the information from. It checks with the domain name registration company (e.g. GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc.) and Domain Name Service (DNS) to get the IP address of the site's Web server. If you are using Simplimation to host your Website, this will be the IP address of our Web server.

Once your browser knows the IP address of the site's Web server, it requests the page directly from the Web server. The page may contain links to additional files that it needs in order to display and work properly (e.g. images, stylesheets, Javascript). Your browser requests each of these files from the Web server also and shows the page.

Testimonials

  • We had lots of friends that said they could make a Website for us for a couple hundred dollars. But we decided to go with Simplimation because we needed a professional site and support. We liked how they listened to us and tried hard to find out what our goals were and then tailored the site to what we needed. They explained everything in layman's terms and let us test the site out before it went public. They exceeded our expectations, even under our short timeframe, and gave us a good, credible image that reinforces the professional image we want to convey for our company.
