WWW.
The World Wide Web (WWW), commonly known as the Web, is an information system where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs, such as https://sahil.com/), which may be interlinked by hyperlinks, and are accessible over the Internet. The resources of the Web are transferred via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), may be accessed by users by a software application called a web browser, and are published by a software application called a web server.
Web Server: A web server is a software and hardware that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and other protocols to respond to client requests made over the World Wide Web. The main job of a web server is to display website content through storing, processing, and delivering webpages to users.
Web browser: A web browser is a software application for accessing the information on the World Wide Web. When a user requests a web page from a particular website, the web browser retrieves the necessary content from a web server and then displays the page on the user’s device.
why do we use WWW in the URL?
It’s actually not necessary to use WWW in URLs. It exists for just one purpose to identify the address as a website.
So, why is WWW used so frequently?
The uses of WWW have been around since the creation of the internet, and its widespread use as a subdomain was largely accidental.
A domain name takes the form of two main elements. For example, the domain name CODED.com consists of the website’s name (coded) and the domain name extension (.com). When a company (or a person) purchases a domain name, they’re able to specify which server the domain name points to
Web page and website?

web pages: A web page is a simple document displayed by web browsers. written in HTML(HYPERTEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE). A web page is often used to provide information to viewers, including pictures or videos to help illustrate important topics. A web page may also be used as a method to sell products or services to viewers.
