Web Server

Web Server is a computer that delivers (serves up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name. It is a computer program that is responsible for accepting HTTP requests from web clients, which are known as web browsers, and serving them HTTP responses along with optional data contents, which usually are web pages such as HTML documents and linked objects (images, etc.). For example, if you enter the URL http://www.blogger.com/index.html in your browser, this sends a request to the server whose domain name is "blogger.com". The server then fetches the page named "index.html" and sends it to your browser.
