World Wide Web: Global system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet
The World Wide Web (WWW or The Web) is the part of the Internet that contains websites and webpages.
- "The Web" redirects here. For other uses, see Web (disambiguation).
It was invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. Sir Tim Berners-Lee created a new markup language called HTML. Websites are composed of pages linked by hypertext links that are written in HTML.
The software to see the World Wide Web is called a web browser. One also needs a connection to the Internet.
Many companies nowadays offer website hosting allowing one to make websites that can be displayed on the World Wide Web, including a custom domain (www.stuff.com) site.
