The resources of the Web are transferred via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) and may be accessed by users by a software application called a web
browser and are published by a web server.

What is Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)?
HTTP is the protocol used to transfer data over the web. It is part of the Internet
protocol suite and defines commands and services used for
transmitting webpage data.
HTTP uses a server-client model. A client, for example, may be a home computer,
laptop, or mobile device. The HTTP server is typically a web host running web
server software, like Apache or IIS. When you access a website,
your browser sends a request to the corresponding web server and it responds with
an HTTP status code. If the URL is valid and the connection is granted, the server
will send your browser the webpage and related files.

a hypertext.

How are Hyperlinks and Hypertext transfer protocol Connected?
In order for hyperlinks to transport you to your desired web page, The hypertext
would request to join the web page.
What is a web server?

A web server is software and hardware that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol) and other protocols to respond to client requests made over the World
Wide Web.

processing and delivering webpages to users.

What is A Web Page?

information so that it can be transmitted. Now that info thee is gathered by the web
browser and also the web browser could teach you the uses of the FTP.

What is a URL?

unique identifier used to locate a resource on the internet. URLs consist of multiple
parts -- including a protocol and domain name -- that tell a web browser how and
