5. Arrange in Proper Sequence

Order the steps logically by numbering them (1, 2, 3, etc.).

Sequence 5.1: The Behind-the-Scenes Process of Loading a Webpage

The web browser receives the IP address from the DNS.

The browser sends a request to the web server at that specific IP address for the website data.

You type a domain name URL into your web browser's address bar.

The web browser sends the domain name portion of the URL to the Domain Name Server (DNS).

The DNS searches its database matrix, finds the matching IP address, and sends it back.

The web server transmits the website data files back, and the browser displays the webpage.

Sequence 5.2: How a Server Processes a Request

The server finds the requested result or file.

The server receives a request from a client computer within the network.

The server transmits the final result back to the requesting computer or passes it along.

The server processes the request internally.
