word wide web, things I noticed
Hi, through the years of haveing a internet connection I have noticed some things I just never got an answer for.
One thing I have noticed is if you type 1 w instead of three like so:
w.google.ca
it gives you the google web site, but in the address bar you still only see 1 w.
it does the same with 2 w's. Now if you dont type any w's:
google.ca
it redirects to www.google.ca
Can someone explain what is going on?
My second question is. When you randomly type a web address in the address bar, sometimes that domain name has not been registered yet. I have a fairly good Idea how web domains work, you pay a registrar to buy a domain name, then either you host the site on your computer(s) or pay a hosting company to host your site. Now sometimes if the domain has not been purchased yet, you will be presented with a page with the message:
This domain name is for sale. And useualy the companys logo is on the page. Now I know that there are many difernt companys that sell domain names, but since the domain has not been purchased yet, how come a certian company has put their logo on the site?
I mean, if the domain has not yet been purchased, then wouldent I just get a error 404 or 505? Instead of a registrar advertiseing since there are many registrars out there?
In snatches, they learn something of the wisdom
which is of good, and more of the mere knowledge which is of evil. But must I know what must not come, for I shale become those of knowledgedome. Peace~
