"I'd like to learn"

Don't suppose anybody would know of any good Web Sites, or have any book recomendation as to where I can learn a bit more about the Internet works, more specificly how a Web Server works??

I thought, seeing as I'd like to set up my own sometime down the line, I'd like to know whats going one inside :o).

and

(remove spaces)

are vaguelly decent guides as to how the internet and web servers do their jobs. They're easy to follow, but don't go into much depth.

When you say you want a web server, do you actually want a machine plugged directly into an ISP serving, say, commercial web pages, or an account with such a machine, or just a program to muck around with at home? The former involves a huge cost in expense and expertise, the middle is merely very expensive and quite technical while the latter is free :O)

i will be able to give you some basic inforrmation but i cant be bothered to type it here so if you still want some info e-mail me at [email protected] or if you use msn messenger add the contact [email protected]
