• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): A protocol used for transmitting and receiving information on the World Wide Web. It is the foundation of data communication on the internet and is commonly used for fetching web pages and resources from servers.
• HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure): An extension of HTTP with an additional layer of security provided by SSL/TLS encryption. It ensures that data transmitted between a user's browser and the website is encrypted, enhancing privacy and security.
• DNS (Domain Name System): A system that translates human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses. DNS is essential for navigating the internet because it allows users to access websites using easily memorable names rather than numeric IP addresses.
