There are three main ways to deliver content to users over the internet:
- Hosting a website from your own server, or in the cloud. Your site is accessible via an IP address, or a human-readable domain name like "google.com."
- Using a Content Delivery Network (CDN), where servers all over the world have copies of your site on them and deliver pages based on the geographic location of the user.
- Using a peer-to-peer distribution system like BitTorrent. In this case, users around the world host copies of your site or files on their own computers and serve it up to other users who request it.
