Ever wondered what really happens when you type a website address into your browser? In this episode, Charly kicks off a new series to break down the complex world of the internet into plain, easy-to-follow steps — no tech jargon overload.
📌 In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ What a domain name is and why it’s easier for humans than numbers
✅ How DNS turns that domain into a server’s IP address
✅ What a hosting server does and where it “lives”
✅ How internet paths route your request like roads to a destination
✅ What a browser does to display your site
By the end, you’ll understand the five key parts — domain, DNS/IP, hosting server, internet path, and browser — and how they work together to bring any website to life on your screen.
