Deep thinking...

Along the same lines a "does a falling tree in an empty wood make a noise?"

Therefore: does a website exist if no one is looking at it?

Why are you thinking about these things?

Waaaay too much time on your hands.

Answer: Yes, cos the server knows it's there. Check your logfiles!

Talkng about deep thinking...
There are only two things to worry about: either you are well or you are sick. If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about: but if you are sick; there are two things for you to worry about: either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. If you die: then there are two things to worry about: either you go up or down. If you go up then there is nothing to worry about. But if you go down you will be so busy shaking hands with old friends you won't have time to worry.

Depends on how you define what a website is, and how it is put together.

i.e. If you define 'website' as the result of rendered code by a browser, then no it doesn't, as all the exists on the server is code.

Likewise, if the website is powered by a content management system or some other server side scripting, the pages, (and therefore the site?) do not exist until someones browser requests the page.

I think I need to take 2 paracetamol now and go back to bed :???:
