A web page is a block of data available on the World Wide Web, identified by a URL. In the simplest, most common case, a web page is a file written in HTML, stored on the server. The page may contain images which appear when displayed by a web browser. It is also possible for the server to generate pages dynamically in response to a request, e.g. using a CGI script.[1]
Description[]
A web page can be in any format that the browser or a "helper" application can display. The format is transmitted as part of the headers of the response as a MIME type, e.g. "text/html", "image/gif". An HTML web page will typically refer to other web pages and Internet resources through hypertext links.
A website typically has a home page (usually just the hostname, such as http://fandom.com/). It may be subdivided through subdomains (such as http://apple.fandom.com/) to provide individual home pages for different users at the site.[1]
