Basics:

You may hear terms like , , , and stack. All of these are just acronyms for various server technology packages that are used to host and serve a website on a computer. They include the HTTP server for communications, the server side scripting language for dynamic processing, and some form of database for storing and retrieving data.

SEF URLs (Human friendly URLs):

Are becoming more popular as they are easier to read/share and obfuscate the inner workings of the web app. A URL like [example.com/read_doc.php?id=100] will be shown as [example.com/read/content . The webapp will have a table where ID 100 will hold that title for mapping. This rewrite is typically done by .htaccess or Apache (mod_rewrite)

Virtual Hosts

It is very common for one IP/Host to host several other domains/subdomains/apps. Take this into account as it is easy to leave scope in these hosted scenarios that are becoming very common.
