Introduction
As websites and online resources become more and more a part of our daily lives, there
is a growing demand for web design skills that represent everything related to the
aesthetics and usability of a website. Some examples of these skills are information
architecture, user interface, site structure, navigation, layout, colors, fonts and global
images. All these skills are combined with design principles to create a website that is
presented to us in the script for our company for sales and rentals of houses and
apartments. Of course, in order for the client to be satisfied, we must take the whole
process of creating the website, looking for a suitable Domain Name System and a
Host.
1. Server technologies
The term server refers to a programmer in information technology that delivers services
to other programmes (referred to as client applications) that are either running on the
same computer or running on other machines. Most of the time, the server programme
anticipates connections from the client application. It is also referred to as a server and
a computer that is capable of executing one or more of these applications. When
dealing with big applications with a significant number of users, the client-server design
is often used, which consists of at least two separate programmes (need at least 2
computers).
Web Server- are computers configured by hosting companies, usually in buildings
called data centers. The only job of a web server is to host the site where the visitor who
when accessing the web server's Ip or domain name system in the browser's search
engine to benefit from a quick response, displaying the site's content in the visitor's
browser. The connection to a web server is made through hypertext transfer protocol
which is connected to the file transfer protocol server.
