Every Web site sits on a computer known as a Web server. This server
is always connected to the internet. Every Web server that is connected
to the Internet is given a unique address made up of a series of four
numbers between 0 and 255 separated by periods.for example,
68.178.157.132 or 68.122.35.127.
When you register a Web address, also known as a domain name, such
as tutorialspoint.com you have to specify the IP address of the Web
server that will host the site. You can load up with Dedicated Servers
that can support your web-based operations.
There are four leading web browsers: Apache, IIS, lighttpd and Jagsaw. Now we will see these servers in bit more detail.

available in the market but they are very expansive. Major ones are
