web01

Web01 is not a single, canonical project but a label encountered in various contexts to denote an early or experimental web system. In educational materials and tutorials, web01 is commonly used as a hypothetical hostname or repository name to illustrate basic web concepts such as static pages, hypertext linking, and client–server interactions. In practice, an institution or project might name a first web server web01 as the initial node in a small lab network or as the default development server in a version-controlled environment.

Technical characteristics associated with a generic web01 deployment include a minimal stack designed for learning or testing, often consisting of a single server running a lightweight web server, serving static HTML pages, and using simple HTTP requests. The setup usually emphasizes reliability and simplicity over scale or security, with limited user authentication and basic logging for traffic analysis.

The term web01 thus reflects common naming conventions for experimental hosts in early web and academic contexts. It is also used in documentation and tutorials as an example configuration, separate from the historical concept of Web 1.0. In many cases, the label is replaced in production by more descriptive or conventional hostnames or project identifiers.

Related concepts include Web 1.0 as a historical phase of the World Wide Web, standard host naming practices, and the role of lab environments in teaching and prototyping web technology.
