'On the web' vs. 'In the web' [duplicate]

When do we use 'on the web' and when 'in the web'?

Roombeats provides image content marketing solutions by linking images to product or brand information and distributing it on the web.


A quick Google Search, especially under 'Books' & 'News' will make it amply clear that 'on the web' is predominantly used in the context of the World Wide Web.

Most of the instances of 'in the web' relate to the idiom '(caught) in the web (of ...),' etc., or if it's the www then a different phrasing such as 'in the web site,' 'in the web development' etc.
