Course Description
CCNA-Level Networking for Cloud and Web Hosting: The Essentials You Actually Use is a practical ebook course built for anyone working with web servers, cloud computing, and modern hosting environments who needs networking to feel clear and usable. Instead of theory overload, you will learn the everyday networking essentials that help you deploy services, connect instances, and resolve real outages with confidence.
As you progress, you will understand how switching and routing show up in cloud networks, how IP addressing and subnets help you read an environment like a map, and why ARP and gateway behavior can make or break connectivity. You will also learn how VLAN concepts support segmentation in hosting environments, how DHCP hands out the right address and default gateway in server and cloud deployments, and how DNS takes a domain name to the correct server IP in a reliable way.
This training connects core protocols to real web operations. You will compare TCP vs UDP for web services so you can predict reliability, latency, and failure modes, and you will recognize common ports and protocols in hosting so you know what must be open and why. You will also make sense of NAT in cloud and hosting, especially how private instances reach the internet, and you will follow packet flow for a web request to pinpoint where communication breaks down.
Because troubleshooting is where networking knowledge pays off, the course guides you through practical methods using ping, traceroute, and path testing. You will learn to connect routes, firewalls, security rules, and real incidents into one mental model that works across cloud providers and web server stacks. By the end, you will have a CCNA-level foundation tailored to Information Technology roles in Web Servers and Cloud Computing, helping you communicate better with network teams and fix issues faster.
