How does a website work?
A website works when a browser requests files from a server and displays the returned code, content and media as a web page.
Quick answer
The domain name, DNS, hosting server, website files and browser work together. Each part has a different responsibility, but the visitor experiences them as one page.
How it works
DNS finds the server connected to the domain. The browser sends a request, the server responds with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and media, and the browser assembles them into the visible page. Dynamic websites may also request information from a database.
Why it matters for a business
Understanding this process helps business owners make better decisions about domains, hosting, speed, security and maintenance.
