About Computer Servers


Servers are computer programs that provide a service to other programs running on the same computer or a different computer across a network. The programs requesting the services are referred to as clients. A specific example is a web server that serves requested web pages or files to the user’s browser (the client) that requests them. A computer that hosts the server application typically needs enough processing power to support multiple users and is also referred to as a server.
