2. DNS translates the domain name into the corresponding IP address. The numeric combination represents the site’s true address on the internet.
3. The browser now decides which protocol used. A protocol in common parlance is a language in which the client’s to communicate with the server. FTP and HTTP are some such protocols.
4. The server sends a GET request to the web server to retrieve the address it is given. It verifies the given address exists, and finds necessary files. Runs appropriate scripts exchanges cookies if necessary, and returns back to the browser.
