deep web

The deep web is a portion of the internet that isn’t indexed by search engines. This can include anything like access to your e-mail account, access to your bank account, access to your school’s academic journals, access to your workplace’s internal intranet, or simply just a website that’s accessible by its IP only.

One thing that’s important to note is that the deep web should not be confused with the dark web. While technically the dark web is a part of the deep web, the deep web isn’t as secretive nor does it have the same negative connotation that the dark web implies.
