A computer file is a block of information (e.g. a text file is composed by a block of characters). It is also used as a resource for storing information, available to a computer program. The file is a basic carrier of information in the process of global data transfer that Internet and other high technologies are based on. It represents a consistency of characters that are stored on a personal computer or on a web server, viewable from any computer connected to the Internet. | A computer file is a block of information (e.g. a text file is composed by a block of characters).

+ | A Web site is a related collection of World Wide Web (WWW) files (text, images, etc.) that includes a beginning file referred to as a home page. To get to the company's or individual's website you just need to ask them for the site's home page address. From the home (start) page you can get to all other pages on the site. For example, the Web site for google.com has the home page address of http://www.google.com. (Generally the home page is named either index.html or index.php as index file is the one that starts loading automatically when a site name is entered into a browser. So the users do not have to type http://www.google.com/index.html). A web site may have thousands of pages or there may be just a single home page. | ||
