when we run ping youtube.com as terminal command
we get its IP 142.250.207.238
but when i try it in browser it will open google.com.lets see how this is happening a basic overview i learned today::

For example , when I ping youtube.com, I get its IP address 142.250.207.238. However, when I enter this IP in a browser, it opens google.com. This happens because a single IP address can host multiple domains, like youtube.com and gmail.com.
When a request reaches the server at that IP, the backend server determines which domain the request is coming from. It then routes the request to the actual IP address of the specific application. This way, a single server can host multiple domain applications, and the server handles and forwards the requests based on the domain.
