Networks/Protocol

Now we've learned all about networks and protocol, which would also be useful to my Web site for my new product. Web protocol is "http" or hypertext transfer protocol, which is what I'd use for my product's Web site. With this Web protocol, there's a 4-step process between the client and Web server, which goes as follows:
1-the browser connects to the server
2-the client/browser makes a request
3-there's a response (file sent)
4-close the connection.

This process would be important to me because it would allow for easier access to the Web site for my customers. For example, it's important for the connection to close at the end of the process because this increases the amount of traffic I would get on my Web site.

I also learned about IP addresses and domain names. Going along with my invention, my product's Web site would be constantly broadcasting an IP address, that people would go to, given its easy-to-remember domain name. For instance, my domain name might be MusicEarmuffs.com if that name isn't already taken. That domain name is just an alias to my 4-number IP address. What's important to remember with all this, is to make sure to pick a name for my Web site that would not conflict with anyone else. I wouldn't be able to choose someone else's name or something that would demonstrate "bad faith" to someone else. I learned in class that some people use famous names to get more money because more users will click on that Web address. I would obviously be very careful when choosing my Web site's name!
