How does a website work?
Published on 12/09/2023

In order to understand how a web page works, it's necessary to detail certain concepts that are needed to comprehend its functioning:

Web server

A server is a computer or system, accessible via the Internet, that stores and manages resources such as websites, files, or applications, and provides them to clients through requests.

Domain name

A domain name is a easily memorable web address that people use to access websites and other resources on the Internet. It's your brand on the Internet, in our case: aatsoft.com
This domain name points to the web server (computer) where your web page is stored.

Source code

Source code is the set of code/programming lines written in a specific programming language. In this source code, everything related to your website is defined: content, design, sections, functionality, contact forms, etc. This source code is located on your server and is what will execute when someone accesses your website through your domain name.

Media and databases

Media refers to all types of multimedia content, such as images, videos, or audio, that can be shared and consumed over the Internet.
A database is a structured collection of data stored in a computer system. Databases are used to efficiently store, manage, and retrieve information.
Together with the source code, they will help ensure your website functions as desired.

With all of this, your web page will already be available to the public, and anyone who knows your domain name will be able to access and visit it.

At aatsoft, we can assist you with all the points mentioned above: we can configure your server (or provide it to you so you don't have to worry), help you with the domain name, and prepare your website (source code + media + database).
