If a user wants to use the Internet, he can directly connect to the Internet through the server, so it will take less time. As this type of Internet connection is expensive, usually big companies called Internet Service Providers establish online connection.
2. Off Line Internet: Off Line Internet is a method of data exchange by an Internet Service Provider connecting their servers to other servers. In this method, users send all their data to the server, which is then sent and received by the ISP's server.
