Which protocol allows users to view

a web page on the web?

"h t t p : / /"

or your IP address, depending on what your specifying.

But the IP Address would still have to use a protocol.

HTTP is the protocol used. (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)

To view a web page on the web, the protocol used is HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). HTTP is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web and enables transmitting hypertext across the internet. It specifies how web browsers and servers communicate with each other to transfer and display web content.

To access a web page using HTTP, you typically start with "http://" followed by the domain name or IP address of the server hosting the web page. For example, "http://www.example.com" or "http://192.168.0.1".

When a user enters a URL into a web browser, the browser sends an HTTP request to the web server hosting the desired web page. The web server then responds with an HTTP response, containing the requested web page's content. Finally, the browser interprets the response and displays the web page to the user.

Therefore, if you want to view a web page on the web, you need to specify the web address (either using the domain name or IP address) and use the HTTP protocol to establish the communication between your browser and the server.
