Types of Servers

A server is a computer program or machine that accepts and responds to requests from other programs or machines called clients. A server runs server software and handles user requests, manages network data and resources, and provides shared services to connected workstations. Common types of servers include web servers, application servers, FTP servers, and game servers. An application server provides business logic for applications, while a web server stores, processes, and delivers web pages to clients via HTTP.
