What is the use of Emmet in VS Code?

what is Web Server and Web Browser?
- Web Browser:- It is a type of software that we use for browsing and displaying web pages that might be available over the internet.
Example:-
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Microsoft Internet explorer
Apple Safari
Opera
Web Server:- it is a type of software that searches, finds, and provides documents to the browsers, as requested by them.
Example:-
Apache HTTP Server Web Server.
Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server.
Nginix
Node. js Web Server.
well most probabably i use Apache, where Apache is a web server software that is responsible for accepting HTTP requests from visitors and sending them back the requested information in the form of web pages.
what is cpanel?
Purpose: cPanel is a web-based control panel that provides a graphical interface for managing and configuring various aspects of a web hosting environment.
Functionality: It allows users to easily manage their websites, domains, email accounts, databases, and other hosting-related features without needing to use command-line interfaces.
Example:-
Imagine you have a magical treehouse where you keep all your favorite toys and snacks. Now, cPanel is like a special remote control for your treehouse. With this remote control, you can easily organize your toys, decide who gets to play with what, and make sure everything is neat and tidy.
On the other hand, Apache is like a friendly robot that brings toys to your friends when they ask for them. This robot listens to your friends' requests (like when they want to play with a specific toy) and makes sure they get what they asked for.
So, cPanel helps you manage and arrange things in your treehouse, while Apache is the helpful robot that makes sure your friends get the toys they want to play with. Both work together to make your treehouse a fun and well-organized place!
What is Local Host?
You might be using it to test websites and web applications locally without knowing what exactly it is. Well, “127.0.0.1” is localhost.
If you’ve served a website on your computer so you can test it without connecting to the internet, what you’re dealing with is a localhost.
If you’ve put a website on the internet before, then you’ve dealt with hosting companies like Heroku, Hostinger, Netlify, and many others. These are what I refer to as “remote hosts” or virtual servers.
What is the IP Address127.0.0.1?
This 127.0.0.1 IP address is reserved for local servers on computers, so you will never find another IP address that starts with 127.
If you want to visit a website, you type the website address to your browser’s address bar, for example, http/freecodecamp.org.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) matches the address to a numeric IP address corresponding to that name. In the case of freeCodeCamp, this IP address is 104.26.2.33. This is how it is done for every website you visit.
what is metadata?
The head of an HTML document is the area that isn't displayed in the web browser when the page loads.
It has the information such as page(title), css(link),custom favicon(link)
Web browsers use information contained in the head render the HTML document correctly.
