What is WWW (world wide web)
WWW stands for “world wide web” also called a web. WWW is used by millions of people every day like you’re reading this post and ordering food, and everything you do on the Internet is you’re using WWW.
At first, I should say WWW is not the Internet or the Internet is not the worldwide web. The Internet is totally different from WWW. Later on, in this post below let’s see the difference between WWW and Internet.
Every content, we are seeing on Internet are stored in web servers in other words the contents are stored in local computers. We can access the contents through the Internet. Those contents contain text pages, images, audio, videos etc., Users like me and you can access the WWW from any part of the world using the Internet. Where the Internet just interconnects between the computers in order to receive the contents.

How Exactly WWW works – World wide web
World wide web is not owned by anyone. Let’s see an example of how WWW works.
Example: Suppose you are a content creator. You wrote a post about James bond and you have just posted it on the web, and now you need an internet connection to access the James bond post. Before posting you should have a domain name, website host and Internet service, provider. Where the domain name is the title of your site, the Website host contains your content in a server and finally, ISP gives you an internet connection.
Take a look at the image below on how exactly world wide works.
From the above image, you could clearly see how a world wide web works.
First, the database that is your content. Secondly, your post on the WWW and the web host server keeps it. Thirdly we need the internet to access the content from WWW and through the internet, we access the content in the form of HTML and javascript. so, this is how a WWW works.
