- Databases : This acts as a storage for the site. Which is used to store information, like articles, user profiles, or product listings. Databases act as digital warehouses, organizing and managing this data for easy access and manipulation.

There is another way to create a website using CMS (Content Management System). It is a customization tool used to manage digital content without editing the site’s code.
For example, If you want to create a blog site, you can simply create and edit the blog content using a simple text editor. There are a lot of CMS used to create a website, which is:
