Where is the World Wide Web based?

Question

Is there a fancy central computer or is there no physical place where all sites are stored?

Answer 1

That's actually the first time I've seen this question. the answer is it is spread out. for example i host my own website which everyone is able to visit at: http://www.steves-hd.com. That's hosted on my server, there are probably millions of servers around the world and they store little bits of information. i don't know if you've ever heard of RuneScape but they have about 300 servers throughout the world.

Hope this is the answer you were looking for :)

the world wide web is as its name states, world wide. There are several computers that "talk" to each other to form a "address list" These computers are called the DNS (Domain Name Server) to associate WWW alpha names to IP address's which will point to a specific PC somewhere in the world. Bellow the is a link to all the details of the WWW
