A web server is a computer program that delivers (serves) content, such as this web page, using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The term web server can also refer to the computer or virtual machine running the program.

The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages to clients (i.e. web browsers). This means delivery of HTML documents and any additional content that may be included by a document, such as images, style sheets and JavaScripts. While the primary function is to serve content, a full implementation of a web server also includes a way of receiving content from clients. This feature is used for submitting web forms, including uploading of files.

Examples of web servers include the Apache HTTP Server and Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS).

Everybody knows you need a domain name to get on the Web, but which one? Well, if you're promoting a club, sports team or other non-profit group, you'll want a .ORG domain, e.g. somesportsclub.org. For Internet service firms — and people whose favorite .COM has already been registered by someone else — there's .NET. And .COM, the most widely recognized domain in the world, is perfect for anyone.

There are also region-specific domain names. For example, .BB domains are specific to Barbados, .CO.UK are ideal for UK-based businesses, and so on. Domain names from iSphere Technologies are not only affordable, each one is registered through the well-known, popular registrars including GoDaddy.com, Inc. and Network Solutions, making it easy to manage all aspects of your domain names.

A top-level domain (TLD) is the last part of an Internet domain name. For example in the domain name ispheretechnologies.com, the top-level domain is com, and in ispheretechnologies.co.uk the TLD is co.uk. TLDs for the same site usually contain the same content but may be promoted/marketed with different customer demographics in mind, e.g. the TLD co.uk is usually used to target UK-specific customers and website visitors.
