The internet is communication between computers. The hypertext transfer protocol, HTTP allows hypertext to be transferred between computers. Hypertext sort of means text that has more features to it. HTML, hypertext markup language is a programing language used to create hypertext. Hypertext can do everything that websites can do because websites are loaded through the hypertext transfer protocol. Often even through hypertext transfer protocol secure, HTTPS which is a safer version of HTTP.

If you create a .html-file in a computer that can load the hypertext markup language you can load hypertext. A .html-file is not a website because the word website means something like a place in the web, the internet. All websites are also .html-files, located on different computers than your own. In web-developer terms, your computer (or the computer that connects to the internet) is called the client and the computer which has the website that you're accessing with your computer is called the server. The client has connected to the server via HTTPS and has accessed hypertext-data on the server. The hypertext-data is now on your computer and is loaded similar to how a local .html-file is loaded from the computers hard-drive.

Most big websites are stored in server-computers that doesn't have screens or keyboards. The purpose of these computers is to store data on their hard-drives and load data to clients via the internet. Big companies that have enormous websites that load heavy computer-files such as videos need a lot of storage for all the data. These enormous websites are often stored on many, many server-computers without screens or keyboards. These large amounts of server-computers that are used to store enormous websites are often stored in large buildings or underground in large rooms. In these rooms server-computers are often placed very compactly. Server-computers cover entire walls like iron bricks full of blinking lamps.

A room filled with server-computers can either be used to store the contents of one enurmous website be used for storing many smaller websites. There are companies that sell space on their servers. This is called a "Web-hotel", a hotell where your hypertext can live together with lots of other websites that has completely different addresses for connection, thus separating them from your website. This guide for how to make your own internet websites will teach how to get a place in one of these hotels for your own .html-files and other file types that your hypertext can load.

This here is hypertext. An image is a part of the hypertext because it was loaded onto the screen. An image, in hypertext is loaded onto the screen with the correct code in the hypertext markup language. The image that is loaded can exist as a file on the same computer as the .html-file that is loading the image. Other than images you can have hypertext-things such as text-styling, bold text, hyperlinks, and everything else that you can see on a website.
