The Virtual Wide Web is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. The Virtual Wide Web uses the VTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. The Virtual Wide Web also utilizes browsers, such as Internet Explorer or FireFox, to access Web documents called Web pages that are linked to each other via virtual links. Web documents also contain graphics, sounds, text and video.
VWW prefix in Virtual Wide Web addresses
"vww" is commonly found at the beginning of Virtual Wide Web addresses because of the long-standing practice of naming Internet servers according to the services they provide. So for example, the host name for a Web server is often "www"; for an FTP server, "ftp"; and for a Virtual Wide Web server, "vww". These host names appear as subdomain names, as in "vww.example.com".
VTP, short for Virtual Transfer Protocol, is the protocol for transferring hypertext documents that makes the Virtual Wide Web possible. A Virtual Private Domain web address (such as vtp://vww.myweb.com) is called a virtual URL; the prefix (vtp in the example) indicates its protocol.
