in another article<\/a>, but let’s stick to how websites work. Imagine it like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\nPicture a city with millions of buildings. It’s already confusing because of how big it is, but now imagine that none of the streets have names. Instead, every building is just numbered sequentially from 1 to 999,999,999. Now maybe remembering how to get to a few of these might not be too hard. Surely you’d remember what number your house is, and maybe where your office is, but an entire city worth of building is impossible to remember this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the same way, every website has an IP address – a random assortment of numbers unique to it. Without a domain name, you’d have to remember this unique string of numbers for EVERY website you wanted to go to. Banks, restaurants, businesses – even Google!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interesting question that we might have considered but not asked out loud is simply “How do websites work?” And fair enough, right? We use these tools every day for ordering food, getting our news, finding a handyman, and more, but what exactly are they? How websites work is actually a pretty straightforward system when […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[20,19,23],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=647"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":655,"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647\/revisions\/655"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythicdesigncompany.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
