is it hard to host a website?


Recommended Posts

A router is your connection from your LAN to the rest of the internet. It works like a tree.

There's a massive trunk which all the internet companies pay to maintain, then they set up wires to each country, then each city, then each house. Each house has a router, which connects the smallest parts of the 'tree' - the LAN. The different computers in the house are right at the end of that, getting all the information put into them like water into roots. The router then sends that up like a branch to the bigger parts of the tree.

The internet itself is more like a web (or net), in that the pages are all hosted in a big cloud-like system with all the files being interconnected, but the structure by which you connect ot the internet and the main way it is set up to get to people is more like a tree.
