19
Q

what is the protocol that is responsible for routing
packets to their destination across multiple networks?

A

IP

20
Q

The letters “http” or “https” that appear first in a URL
represent Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is used by a web
browser to communicate with a web server and access the desired
resource. The “s” in “https” indicates that the site is secure and that
the data on the page is encrypted to prevent information theft. It is
particularly important to check for the “s” when accessing shopping

A

PROTOCOL

21
Q

In relation to a main or root domain, a ———– is the part
to the left of the second-level domain. For instance, if a person owns
a domain like myexample.org and decides to run a blog on a
subdomain, their domain name would be blog.myexample.org.
——- are also known as “third-level domains.”

A

subdomain

22
Q

is positioned
to the left of the extension and is located below the top-level
domain. When searching for a domain name, the focus is on
naming the ———-, which can be paired with a top-level domain from
a range of options available. The ——– offers almost unlimited
possibilities for naming with options such as brand name, product
name, or personal name

A

second-level domain

23
Q

refers to the extension of a
domain name, which is the letters to the right of the second-level
domain. An example of a —— that is commonly used is .COM. The

domain name.

A

top-level domain

24
Q

refers to any part that comes after the
domain name and before a question mark or # symbol that adds
additional information to the URL. Initially, the URL was a
representation of the file and folder structure of a server.

A

25
Q

is always required in a URL, it is
not often visible. If included in the URL, it appears after the TLD
and is separated by a colon. When the —– number is not declared,

——- 80 is typically used for http requests, while ———– 443 is used for
https requests, which are secure.

A

port

26
Q

In URLs of dynamic web pages, which are generated from
databases or user-generated content, a ———– is often included. The
—————is indicated by a question mark, followed by one or more
parameters. The ———– appears immediately after the domain name,
path, or port number in the URL.

A

query

27
Q

are small pieces of information that can be found
in the query string of a website’s URL. The ——— are
separated by an ampersand character and are located after the
question mark symbol. These ———–can be individually
understood and used to display specific content on the webpage, as
seen in Google search queries.

A

parameter

28
Q

is a reference to a specific section within a web
page that appears at the end of a URL, and is identified by a hash
(#) character followed by a name or identifier. This type of reference
