Difference Between Internet, Intranet and Extranet

The major difference between the internet, intranet and extranet is that the
internet, also known as the world wide web, is a global network of computer
networks, and intranet, on the other hand, is an internet network that only
corporate workers have access to. However, the extranet is an extension of
the intranet.

What is Internet?
The Internet is often known as the World wide web. The Internet is a
network built by the cooperative connectivity of millions of computers that
are linked together. The Internet is made up of:

 People: The network is used and developed by people.


 Resources: A group of resources that can be accessed through those
networks.
 A setup for collaboration: It is a collaborative arrangement that
comprises members of the research and education committees from
all around the world.

What is Intranet?
An intranet is a private network that only employees of a company may
access. It's the most restrictive of the three networks. Intranets, like the
Internet, employ the HTTP protocol over TCP/IP protocol, web servers, and
web clients. Intranets differ from the Internet in that private servers are not
accessible to the general public. The users' limitations are implemented
through the usage of an internet firewall.

Companies use intranet so that they can store and share important
documents and lets teams use private messages and threads to
communicate better and collaborate on projects over a secure network. It is
only accessible to a small group of people. Intranets are mostly used to
offer access to data and programs on networked computers and servers
within enterprises and organizations.

What is Extranet?
An extranet is a type of network that allows external users to access an
organization's intranet. An extranet is similar to an intranet, except that it is
accessed through a Web portal. An intranet is a private network that is only
available to members of the same group, corporation, or organization.
Extranets are quickly becoming a popular way for business partners to
securely communicate information.
