Who Controls the Internet? or How Internet Works?

Here are some best buy link of budget Laptops "click here!".




(A short summary is available at the end of the post.)

Hello!! friends 
have you ever wondered about who runs the internet? Who controls the internet worldwide?
  • Maybe you could think that the internet provider companies like Jio, Airtel, and BSNL control the internet But this isn't true because If one company stops providing it, there are other companies present. Then, you'd think maybe our government controls it, but that isn't true either. At most, the government can remove 2-3 Facebook posts or block websites But they can be bypassed easily this does not amount to control over the internet worldwide. Then, maybe you could think that companies like Google, Facebook, and Youtube control it because they have the largest amount of data But that isn't true either because you can build a website of your own and these companies would not be able to interfere in it. So the question is when you are building a website of your own, Who is providing you the space to create the website on the internet?
  • Is there a website that can tell you which website you can build and which website you cannot? In this post, I'd like to tell you about the internet Because the internet is an important tool in maintaining freedom and democracy worldwide Countries like China keep their citizens blocked off completely from certain websites. Some websites like Google, Youtube, and Facebook are permanently blocked there Because the Chinese government wants to brainwash its citizens in a particular way. Therefore, I think it's essential to understand how the internet works and what it is. This is what I'd like to tell you in this post.
  • (www.youtube.com)This is a URL/link "youtube" here, is called a domain name and the".com" is called the top-level domain. If you want to build your own website, then you will have to buy your domain name. There are some websites that sell domain names as their job. For example, GoDaddy.com. You need to go to GoDaddy.com if you wish to buy a domain name for your website. For example, I had to buy wordzwar.com, so I went to GoDaddy.com to buy it. Now the question is, who gave GoDaddy the authority to sell domain names? Who is GoDaddy to sell domain names? There must be someone who gives assent to GoDaddy to sell domain names And if there's no one, then GoDaddy has become the boss of the internet in a way. That is, it would be the one to sell domain names as well as decide who can own which website But this isn't so There is another authority above it. The name of this authority is ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names And Numbers). This is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles. You could say that this is the top-level authority regarding the internet.
  • It has the power to authorize websites like GoDaddy.com to sell domain names. This is the authority that decides which websites can sell domain names. This is the top-level authority that decides which domain names can actually exist. There could be .com, .in, .info, or .gov. All of this is decided by ICANN (for example), we may make a website with .gov in its name. We may build domain names with .com in them. Although it is a nonprofit organization, it sells top-level domain names to the rest of the companies by bidding. The companies that it sells to are called "registries". You can go on the website of ICANN and see which companies have bought the different top-level domains. For example, .aaa has been bought by American Automobile Association. Below the registries are the registrars. Companies like GoDaddy.com, that can sell both top-level domains as well as domain names to the people. So, is ICANN the God of the internet? This cannot be said because the internet is a very decentralized network. You could consider it to be akin to a net. All the mobile phones and computers that are connected to the internet, make up the internet. You could call it a "server". Your mobile phones and computers are data centers and servers that are connected to each other through wires. Huge underwater cables have been laid worldwide across the continents. That connects computers worldwide to one another. which makes up the internet. 
  • Now, you could ask that my mobile phone isn't connected to any cable, then how does the internet work on it? Mobile phones operate through mobile towers and (offer) 3g, and 4g which do not have an extremely wide range. Your mobile phones have the 3g/4g signal only when you are close to the mobile towers But if you move a little further away, then the signals (on your phone) won't show up. So the towers of mobile phones are actually connected to wires. And they are eventually connected to those wires that are connected to the wires connected worldwide. You can easily understand this on the map.
  • A big wire came to India via Mumbai. From the point of Mumbai, wires spread out in different directions and reached different areas in India. due to which the internet reached different parts of the country. So, in a way, you could say that the company that has laid down these wires holds a huge amount of significant power because it is supplying the internet to many different places. Secondly, you could say that the companies that lay down cables on land help the internet reach every household by connecting these wires to the main cable and connecting your computers to the internet worldwide. They too hold a huge amount of significant power. They are called Internet service providers- ISPs. These would be (companies like) Airtel, Jio, and BSNL that supply internet to your homes And yes, they do hold significant power. Because these ISPs can block certain websites upon the direction of the Government. If the Government says so But they do not hold sufficient powers to control a lot of things because you could use VPNs to overcome the blockages of the ISPs.
  • Just like every mobile phone has a number from which you can call another mobile phone, Similarly, every device that is connected to the internet has an IP address. Be it your computer, your smartphone or be it any other server like a data center. if it's connected to the internet, it will have an IP address. Each website to has an IP address. For example, if you make a phone call to a number, then the call goes to another phone to which you can talk. Similarly, when you type an IP address in your browser, it goes to another server and you are able to view the website of that server on your own computer. Now you could say that you type the domain name, not the IP address.
  • The domain names are connected to the IP addresses. Actually, humans cannot read IP addresses because it is written in digits and numbers. So the domain name is a human-readable form of an IP address. When you type the domain name of a website in your browser, then the thing that converts the domain name into the IP address is called Domain Name Server- DNS. Sometimes Internet Service Providers block certain websites from the DNS. So that when you type the domain name, it is not able to link it to the particular IP address. So the DNS of the Internet Service Providers blocks you from reaching certain websites. For this, you can simply use a public DNS. For example, the DNS of Google is 8.8.8.8. You can go to your mobile settings and change your DNS. You can go to your computer settings and change your DNS to begin using Google DNS. Then the blocked websites will get unblocked. Obviously using the VPN is another way.
  • So let us revert to our original question. Who controls the Internet? To whom does it belong? The correct answer to this would be that it belongs to nobody and belongs to everybody Because the internet runs only when it is a decentralized system And if you wish to buy a part of the internet if you wish to own it, You can only do it when you build a website of your own.
How can you build a website?
  • Buy your own domain name. Then you'd need to buy a server where your website can be stored. Now you could point out that I had stated that your mobile phones and your computers could also be servers. Yes, they could be But it does not have enough processing power and space to store an entire website. Also, neither your computers nor your phones run 24/7. Only when it runs 24/7, will your website be available to the users 24/7 on the internet? So what people generally do is Large companies have set up their data centers and huge servers, which are very secure. You could go buy a server there to store your website. Then you will have to link your domain name to your server and publish your DNS.
  • Now, think about it. You own a website. What If you're able to use this website like you use your harddisks or pen-drives at home? Because the website is providing you a storage space, which is on the server. Whenever you're out somewhere(you could) merely open up your website on the internet and you're able to view the documents on the website just like you view the documents stored on a hard disk. The difference is, the world would not be able to access this website. Only you would be able to access it because it would have a username and password. So you get your own website which you can use like a harddisk or you can I also say that this website is like a virtual storage device and its data can be visible globally but you are the only one who can read, write and delete the data of this website/virtual storage device. That's how a website run on the internet. 



Summary:-


The internet provider companies like Jio, Airtel, and BSNL do not control the internet, and the government can only remove 2-3 Facebook posts or block websites. Companies like Google, Facebook, and Youtube cannot interfere with websites, so the question is who is providing the space to create them.
The internet is an important tool for maintaining freedom and democracy, but some websites are blocked due to the Chinese government's desire to brainwash its citizens.
GoDaddy is the top-level domain for websites, but there is another authority above it, ICANN, which is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles. GoDaddy has the authority to sell domain names, but ICANN is the authority to decide who can own which website.
ICANN is the authority that decides which websites can sell domain names. It is a nonprofit organization that sells top-level domain names to the rest of the companies by bidding. Companies like GoDaddy.com can sell both top-level domains as well as domain names to people. The internet is a decentralized network, with mobile phones and computers connected to the internet through data centers and servers. Huge underwater cables connect computers worldwide to one another.
Mobile phones operate through mobile towers and offer 3g/4g signals only when close to them, but if you move further away, the signals won't show up.
India has been a major player in the internet from the point of Mumbai, with wires traveling in different directions and reaching different parts of the country. The companies that laid down these wires have significant power as they supply the internet to many different places. Internet service providers, such as Airtel, Jio, and BSNL, also have the power to block certain websites at the direction of the Government but do not have sufficient powers to control them. VPNs can help to overcome the blockages of the ISPs.
Mobile phones and other devices connected to the internet have an IP address, which is a number given to each device. For example, when a phone calls a number goes to another phone, and when a browser goes to another server, the domain name is not the IP address.
Domain names are connected to IP addresses and cannot be read. When a website is typed, the domain name is converted into an IP address. Sometimes, Internet Service Providers block certain websites from the DNS, so it is blocked by using a public DNS such as the DNS of Google. To begin using Google DNS, users can go to their mobile settings and change their DNS. Then, they can block websites using the VPN.
The internet is a decentralized system that belongs to everyone and can only be owned by building a website of one's own.
Building a website is an important part of building a website.
Buy your own domain name and buy a server to store your website. Large companies have data centers and huge servers, which are secure. You must link your domain name to your server and publish your DNS.
Website runs is a virtual storage device that is accessed through the internet. It provides storage space on the server and allows users to view documents on the website just like a hard disk. However, the world would not be able to access the website because it would have a username and password. The website runs on the internet and can be visible globally, but users are the only ones who can read, write and delete the data.
