There are several processes chained starting from your browser application end ending with svchost.exe (windows process). Can you be more specific in what are you interested with?

Only on Windows, and I think Deepika Kumar meant the HTTP process

So, actually, your system will ask the DNS server for the IP address of the host, then will send an HTTP 1.1 request to that host (it includes the host name), and the server on that host will decide what to do with the rest of the request
