What is InterNet ?
The Internet is a loose association of thousands of networks and millions of computers across the world that all work together to share information. Like many complex systems, the Internet is easiest to explain  through the use of metaphors, and the Net has inspired its fair  share. The one that has stuck is the "information superhighway,"  and while it has become a click, the transportation analogy really does hold up pretty well. Think of the Internet as a World version of a mass transit system like Boston's T, with a few main subway lines that intersect at certain points. Connecting to the subway lines are commuter rails, bus lines, and ferry boats that spread out and  crisscross the metropolitan area. On the Net, the main lines carry the bulk of the traffic and are collectively known as the Internet backbone. The backbone is  formed by the biggest networks in the system, owned by major Internet service providers (ISP) such as ccsl.

How does email work?
Email(Electronic Mail) is not that different from regular mail, actually: you have a message, an address, and a carrier that figures out to get it from here to there.The difference is that email messages-- and any attachments-- are broken down into small chunks of data called packets, which travel independently, weaving their way along with innumerable other packets traveling to different destinations. It's as if each page of a letter was mailed separately. On the way, the packets are passed from one server to the next until they reach their final destination. Any given message's packets and attached file may travel by several different routes, so the components often arrive out of order and at different times. Once all the packets have arrived, they are recombined into their original form.This makes sending the message faster, because it doesn't require  transmitting one big, bandwidth-hogging piece of data. But it also means that an entire message can be held up if one little piece is  missing. Usually, however, this entire process, traveling 3,000 miles or more, takes less than a minute to complete.

What is the Web?
Although the terms Web and Internet are often used synonymously, they're actually two different things. The Internet is the global association of computers that carries data and makes the exchange of information possible. The World Wide Web is a subset of the Net---- a collection of interlinked documents that work together using a specific Internet protocol called HTTP. In other words, the Net exists independently of the Web, but the Web can't exist without the Net. Web uses a metaphor of individual pages, usually combined to make up sites. Web pages are written in HTML( HyperText Markup Language), which tells the Web browser how to display the page and its elements. The defining feature of the Web is its ability to connect pages to one another--as well as to audio, video, and image files--with hyperlinks. Just click a link, and suddenly you're at a Web site on the other side of the world. (Before the Web, you had to type in exact Net addresses.example: www.ccsl.com.np.

What is a search engine?
Search engines such as Excite and HotBot use automated software called Web crawlers or spiders. These programs move from Web site to Web site, logging each site title, URL, and at least some of  its text content. The object is to hit millions of Web sites and to stay as current with them as possible. The result is a long list of Web sites placed in a database, which users search by typing in a keyword or phrase.
Web directories such as Yahoo offer an editorially selected, topically organized list of Web sites. To accomplish that   goal, these sites employ editors to find new Web sites and work with programmers to categorize them and build their links into the   site's index. Since both approaches make sense, all the major search engine sites now have built-in topical search indexes, and most Web directories have added a keyword search. (search engine such as: Yahoo.com ,Excite.com , Altavista.com and etc.).

Web Hosting & Web Designing
On the Internet, virtual hosting is the provision of Web server and other services so that a company or individual doesn't have to purchase and maintain their own Web server host with a line to the Internet. A virtual hosting provider is sometimes called a Web or Internet "space provider." Some companies providing this service simply call it "hosting." Typically, virtual hosting provides a customer who wants a Web site with: domain name registration assistance, multiple domain names that map to the registered domain name, an allocation of file storage and directory setup for the Web site files (HTML and graphic image files), e-mail
addresses, and, optionally, Web site creation services. The virtual hosting user (the Web site owner) needs only to have a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program for exchanging files with the virtual host.Some virtual hosting providers make it possible for customers to have more control of their Web site file system, e-mail names, passwords, and other resources and say that they are providing each customer a virtual server.

Intranet

An intranet is a private network that is contained within an enterprise. It may consist of many interlinked local area networks and also use leased lines in the wide area network. Typically, an intranet includes connections through one or more gateway computers to the outside Internet. The main purpose of an intranet is to share company information and computing resources among employees. An intranet can also be used to facilitate working in groups and for teleconferences.

Network

In information technology, a network is a series of points or nodes interconnected by communication paths. Networks can interconnect with other networks and contain subnetworks.

The most common topologies or general configurations of networks include the bus, star, and ring topologies. Networks can also be characterized in terms of spatial distance as local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs).

e-commerce

E-commerce (electronic commerce or EC) is the buying and selling of goods
and services on the Internet, especially the World Wide Web. In practice, this
term and a new term, "e-business," are often used interchangably. For online
retail selling, the term e-tailing is sometimes used.

E-Mail, Fax, and Internet Telephony

E-commerce is also conducted through the more limited electronic forms of communication called e-mail, facsimile or fax, and the emerging use of telephone calls over the Internet. Most of this is business-to-business, with some companies attempting to use e-mail and fax for unsolicited ads (usually viewed as online junk mail or spam) to consumers and other business prospects. An
increasing number of business Web sites offer e-mail newsletters for subscribers. A new trend is opt-in e-mail in which Web users voluntarily sign up to receive e-mail, usually sponsored or containing ads, about product categories or other subjects they are interested in.
 

e-business

"e-business" ("electronic business," derived from such terms as "e-mail" and "e-commerce") is the conduct of business on the Internet, not only buying and selling but also servicing customers and collaborating with business partners. One of the first to use the term was IBM, when, in October, 1997, it launched a thematic campaign built around the term. Today, major corporations are
rethinking their businesses in terms of the Internet and its new culture and capabilities. Companies are using the Web to buy parts and supplies from other companies, to collaborate on sales promotions. and to do joint research. Exploiting the convenience, availability, and world-wide reach of the Internet, many companies, such as Amazon.com, the book sellers, have already discovered how to use the Internet successfully.

domain

In general, a domain is an area of control or a sphere of knowledge.

In computing and telecommunication in general, a domain is a sphere of knowledge identified by a name. Typically, the knowledge is a collection of facts about some program entities or a number of network points or addresses.

On the Internet, a domain consists of a set of network addresses. This domain is organized in levels. The top level identifies geographic or purpose commonality (for example, the nation that the domain covers or a category such as "commercial"). The second level identifies a unique place within the top level domain and is, in fact, equivalent to a unique address on the Internet (or IP). Lower levels of domain may also be used.

Strictly speaking, in the Internet's domain name system (DNS), a domain is a name with which name server records are associated that describe subdomains or hosts. For example, "ccsl.com.np" could be a domain with records for "ccsl.com.np" .
