Web server is a
software which delivers web content (static & dynamic) that can be accessed
over Internet.
Or you can define as
below too:
A website is a
collection of the digital pages written using the Hyper text Mark up language
(HTML). For a website to be available , it should be hosted on a computer which
is connected to internet. Additionally it requires a program which should be
installed on the computer known as a web server.
Web servers are able
to map the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)into:
- A file/resource located on the local disk (static content)
- It can reference a program (Internal or external) for dynamic content
A web server waits
for the requests from the browsers (Clients) and responds with data back. There
are many web server programs available in the market. The most famous one is
Apache HTTP Server.
