What is the internet?
The Internet is a network or system on a network of interconnected computer (connected) by using the Global System for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol Suite (TCP / IP) as the protocol packet switching (packet switching communication protocol) to serve billions of users worldwide. Internet is also commonly known as interconnected-networking (short for Internet). Internet comes from the Latin, namely the "Inter" which means "Between". Thus, when combined word for word Internet is a network between or liaison.
Understanding the Internet
Internet
can be interpreted as a broad and large computer networks worldwide,
that connects computer users from one country to another across the
world, which included a variety of information resources ranging from
static to dynamic and interactive.
History of the Internet
Here the history of the emergence and development of the internet.
Internet
history begins in 1969 when the US Defense Department, the US Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has decided to conduct
research on how to connect a computer to form an organic network. This research program known as the ARPANET. In
1970, already more than 10 computers are successfully connected to each
other so that they can communicate with each other and form a network.
In 1972, Roy Tomlinson managed to complete the e-mail program that he created a year ago for the ARPANET. E-mail program is so easy that instantly became popular. In the same year, the iconjuga introduced as an important symbol that indicates "at" or "on". In 1973, ARPANET computer network were developed outside the United States. Computer
University College in London is the first computer that is outside the
United States who are members of the network Arpanet. In
the same year, two computer experts that Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn
presented a bigger idea, which became the forerunner of the Internet
thinking. This idea was presented for the first time at the University of Sussex.
The
next historic day is March 26, 1976, when the Queen of England managed
to send an e-mail from the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment in
Malvern. A year later, already more than 100 computers on ARPANET joined to form a network or network. In 1979, Tom Truscott, Jim Ellis and Steve Bellovin, creating the first-named newsgroups USENET. 1981
France Telecom creates a buzz by launching the first television
telephone, where people can call each other while associated with the
video link.
Because the computers that form a network of daily increasing, it needed a formal protocol that is recognized by all networks. In 1982 established Transmission Control Protocol or TCP and Internet Protocol or IP that we know it all. Meanwhile
in Europe appear counter computer network known as Eunet, which
provides computer network services in the countries of the Netherlands,
the UK, Denmark and Sweden. Eunet network providing e-mail and USENET newsgroups.
To
homogenize the address on existing computer networks, then in 1984
introduced the domain name system, which is now known by DNS or Domain
Name System. A computer connected to a network that is already more than 1000 computers. In 1987 the number of computers connected to the network soared 10-fold to 10,000 more.
In 1988, Jarko Oikarinen of Finland discovered and once introduced the IRC or Internet Relay Chat. A year later, the number of interconnected computers soared 10-fold in a year. No fewer than 100,000 computers are now forming a network. 1990
is the year of the most historic, when Tim Berners Lee to find a
program editor and browser that can roam from one computer to another
computer, which form a network. The program is called www, or World Wide Web.
In
1992, computers that are connected to form a network already exceeded a
million computers, and in the same year the term surfing the internet. In
1994, the website has grown to 3000 pages address, and for the first
time in a virtual-shopping or e-retail surfaced on the internet. The world changed. In the same year Yahoo! established, which is also well-born Netscape Navigator 1.0.
The benefits of the Internet
In
general, there are many benefits to be gained if a person has access to
the Internet .Here is some of what is available on the internet: 1.
Information for private life: health, leisure, hobbies, personal
development, spiritual, social. 2.
Information to professional life / worker: science, technology, trade,
stocks, commodities, business news, professional associations, business
associations, various communication forums.
One
of the most interesting is a membership internet knows no national
boundaries, race, economic class, ideology or other factors that
normally can inhibit the exchange of ideas. Internet is a global community that is very democratic and have a code of ethics that all members are respected. Internet
benefits primarily obtained through cooperation between individuals or
groups without knowing the limits of distance and time. To
further improve the quality of human resources in Indonesia, it is time
the Indonesian professionals utilizing the Internet and become part of
the world information society.
Web Site or Site
Understanding Web Site or Site

Domain name of each site in the world are not the same so that none of the sites will be found mixed up or confused the name of the site pages. To obtain a domain name carried rental, usually within a certain period (annual).
b. Hosting
Hosting
can be defined as the space contained in the hard disk to store a
variety of data, files, images and others that will be displayed on the
site. The
amount of data that can be added depending on the size of the hosting
leased / owned, the greater the greater the hosting of data that can be
entered and displayed in the site. Hosting also be obtained by renting. The amount of disk space hosting determined by the size of the MB (Mega Byte) or GB (Giga Byte). Long rental hosting an average calculated per year. Leasing hosting is done from the companies web hosting tenants that are often found in Indonesia and Foreign Affairs.
c. Scripts / Language Program
Is the language used to translate each command in the site when accessed. Type scripts determine the static, dynamic or interactive site. The more variety of scripts that use it will show the site more dynamic and interactive as well as look good. The good site can be seen with the response of visitors and the frequency of visits.
A variety of scripts currently has a presence to support the quality of the site. The types of scripts are widely used by designers, among others, HTML, ASP, PHP, JSP, Java Scripts, Java applets and so on. The
basic language used every site is ASP and HTML, while others are
supporting language that acts as a regulator of the dynamic and
interactive websites.
Scripts ASP, PHP, JSP or others can be made, can also be purchased from vendors scripts are usually located overseas. Scripts average price is very expensive because of the difficulty of making, usually in the tens of millions. These
scripts are typically used to build a portal of news, articles,
discussion forums, guest books, members of the organization, e-mail,
mailing lists and other things that need updating at any time.
d. Web Design
After
conducting leasing domain and hosting as well as mastery of scripts,
the most important elements of the site and the main design. Web design will determine the quality and beauty of the site. Design is very influential to the judgment of visitors will be whether or not a web site.
To make the site can usually be done alone or hire a web designer. Nowadays so many web designers services, especially in big cities. Keep in mind that the quality of the site is largely determined by the quality of the designer. More
and more web designers mastery of various programs / software support
site creation it will produce more qualified sites, and vice versa. This
designer web services which generally require the highest cost of the
entire cost of the construction site and everything that depends on the
quality of the designer.
e. Publication
The existence of the site is of no use built without visited or known by the public or visitors internet. Because of the effectiveness of the site depends on the size of incoming visitors and comments. To introduce the site to the public requires a so-called publicity or promotion. Publication
of the site in the community can be done in various ways such as by
pamlet-pamlet, flyers, billboards and so forth but in this way can be
said to be still less effective and very limited. way
normally done and most effective with unlimited space or time is
immediate publication on the internet through search engine search
engines (search engines, such as Yahoo, Google, Search Indonesia, etc.)
Way of publication in the search engines some are free and some are paid. The
free ones are usually limited and long enough to get in and recognized
in the well-known search engines such as Yahoo or Google. An
effective way of publication is to pay, even if it means a little put
out but the site quickly enter into the search engines and is known by
visitors.
Maintenance Web Site or Site
To support the continuation of site maintenance needed every time as desired such as the addition of information, news, articles, links, images or others. Without proper maintenance site will seem boring or monotonous also will soon be left visitors.
