Find the answer to what is a web server.
A web server is either a special computer or server for reliable hosting
of web sites, or the software application that runs on that server. The two
main web server applications used by most web hosting providers are
Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) for windows hosting and
Apache for Unix hosting. Both use the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to
transfer web pages to your web browser.
