In the URL http://www.CIWcertified.com/certifications/web_foundations/iba.php, which part represents the server name?

WWW
/certifications/
CIWcertified
CIWcertified.com

The correct answer is: CIWcertified.com

In a URL, the server name is the part that identifies the specific host or domain from which the web resources are being requested. In the provided example, "CIWcertified.com" serves as the domain name, indicating the server that hosts the website. A domain name typically consists of two main parts: the actual name (in this case, "CIWcertified") and the top-level domain (TLD), which in this instance is ".com." While "WWW" is a subdomain often used to specify the World Wide Web, it is not the complete server name. The segment "/certifications/" indicates a path on the server, guiding the web browser to a specific resource within the website, but does not represent the server name itself. Understanding the structure of the URL helps clarify that "CIWcertified.com" encapsulates both the entity name and its association with the .com domain, identifying the server effectively.
