About Web servers
A server is a computer that is built and designed to serve something. In this context, it is designed to serve Web pages, and is hence called a Web server.
A server is connected to the Internet through a high-speed link, and typically has enough memory and hard disk space that it can handle serving web pages to large numbers of people. A server can come in many configurations, and can range from a small box in a person’s home designed for hosting a personal website to a large system that is housed in a business’s computer room, designed to host a corporate website.
