However, if the internet is functioning properly and you have a computer, an internet connection, and an IP address you can host a document on the web.

That statement is so redundant.
"internet functioning properly" = "an internet connection"
and you cant have an internet connection without an ip adress. On Lan you may have the option to let the device decide BUT it still needs one!

I dont think the entire article is bad or something but let me have my nitpickings.

its too long, and with that i mean half the thing is 3 concepts that could have been explained shorter
too many fancy words (i am not a native & my reading comprehension gets worse at all those extravagant marketing words, so thats my error)
not including the one picture of the protocoll/network topology. I needed to keep that in my brain to not get confused Masto Post with Topology
that one paragraph at the post start but can happen to anyone so its simply hilarious

Maybe the author meant to express, "Regardless, if the global system of interconnected computer networks is functioning properly and you have a connection to it, you can host a document on the web." since a "global system" and "your connection to it" are separate things, and either can have a problem while the other does not have a problem. That's me being charitable though, and I agree that it's more likely that they were being redundant.

I also find it interesting that the original sentences reference "the internet" (with a lowercase "i") rather than "the Internet". "The word is sometimes still capitalized to distinguish the global internet from smaller networks", so it's interesting that the author might be referencing an internet that is not global rather than a global network. They probably are referencing "the Internet" though, since "many publications, including the AP Stylebook since 2016, recommend the lowercase form in every case".
