What is a website?

A website or site is a collection of many web pages. A website has many web pages and each page has different types of information. A web page is actually a type of document that can contain text, images, videos, etc. All these pages are present on the web server. The main page of the website is called the home page, where many links are given, by clicking on which we can open these web pages.

Every website has a unique web address called a URL and that website is accessed through the same URL. Like the address of our website is webinhindi.com and through this address you are able to see our website.

To open any website, a type of software or application is needed which is called a browser. Examples of browsers are Chrome, Firefox, Opera, UC browser etc.

There are mainly two types of websites:

Static website: - It is created by coding with simple HTML. It is very easy to create it. It takes less time to make it. If we talk about the cost then it is very cheap. It does not connect to any type of database.
Its contents are static, ie they are not automatically updated. Coding is required to update the site. As long as you do not make changes to its code, then its content will not change.

Example of a tatic website: Most college or school websites are static. But some pages can also be dynamic such as admission form, contact form etc.


Dynamic website: - It takes more time to build it. The cost seems high. More and more functions can be added to it. It uses technologies like PHP, ASP.Net, JavaScript, Python etc. The website is connected to the database.
No coding has to be done for every content. The content remains in the database and is removed and shown to the user. A separate interface / page is created for the admin from where the site can be easily updated without writing code.

Example of dynamic website: Online shopping site, search engine, social media, online video streaming website are dynamic.
