Web servers store, process, and deliver web pages to users via HTTP. Internet service providers (ISPs) provide access to the internet for both personal and business customers. Proxy servers act as an intermediary between internal and external networks, providing security and caching common requests to improve speed. There are several options for web hosting: shared hosting involves multiple websites on one server; virtual private servers (VPS) virtually mimic dedicated servers within shared environments; dedicated servers allocate an entire physical server to a single customer; and cloud hosting uses virtual resources across multiple servers. Some HTML tags do not require closing tags, including <img> for images, <input> for forms, and <br> for line breaks.
