A server is both a running instance of some software capable of accepting requests from clients, and the computer such a server runs on.
Servers operate within a client-server architecture where "servers" are computer programs running to serve the requests of other programs, the "clients". This may be to share data, information or hardware and software resources. Typical computing servers aredatabase server, file server, mail server, print server, web server, gaming server, and application server.
The clients may run on the same computer, but typically connect to the server through a network. In the hardware sense, a computer primarily designed as a server is generally specialised in some way for its task. Sometimes more powerful and reliable than standard desktop computers, they may conversely be simpler and more disposable if clustered in large numbers.
In information technology, a server is a computer program that provides services to other computer programs (and their users) in the same or other computers.
The computer that a server program runs in is also frequently referred to as a server (though it may be used for other purposes as well).
In the client/server programming model, a server is a program that awaits and fulfills requests from client programs in the same or other computers. A given application in a computer may function as a client with requests for services from other programs and also as a server of requests from other programs.
Specific to the Web, a Web server is the computer program (housed in a computer) that serves requested HTML pages or files. A Web client is the requesting program associated with the user.
The Web browser in your computer is a client that requests HTML files from Web servers.
