what is a webpage

A webpage is a document written in HTML and viewed in a web browser. It can be accessed by entering a URL (uniform resource locator) address into a browsers address bar. A webpage may contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks to other web pages and files. It provides information to viewers, including pictures or videos to help illustrate important topics. A webpage may also be used as a method to sell products or services to viewers. Multiple web pages make up a website. A website is a collection of linked web pages (plus their associated resources) that share a unique domain name. Websites can be used for various purposes, such as sharing information, selling products or services, and providing entertainment. A web server is a computer hosting one or more websites. A web page is a structured document, and the core element of a web page is a text file written in the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) which specifies the content of the web page (including links called hyperlinks) to other web resources, primarily other web pages, and to different sections of the same web page. From the perspective of server-side website deployment, there are two types of web pages: static and dynamic. Static pages are retrieved from the web servers file system without any modification, while dynamic pages must be created by the server on the fly, typically reading from a database to fill out a template, before being sent to the users browser.
