    Internet travels overseas with something called optic fibers I believe , they are all set in the bottom of the earth and under seas anyway you are a part of the internet , the Internet is billions of computer connected together, simple as that.

    The internet is centered around one computer. One super computer. One computer to rule the world.

    Right........ :rofl:


    uhh every website has an IP address like your PC so you type the address you go to the website , but your not gonna type IP numbers thats why there are domains/subdomains...etc.

    Its the servers .... The Domain is attached with the IP so if you type the domain like Gamerenders.com they will redirect you to 241.456.564.45 or w/e. Its a mechanism, you dont ask how a calculator calculates lol


    oh well guess you found it after all :D
