8. WEB SERVER
• Web servers are computers that deliver (serves
up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP
address and possibly a domain name. For
example, if you enter
the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.ht
ml in your browser, this sends a request to the
Web server whose domain name
ispcwebopedia.com. The server then fetches the
page named index.html and sends it to your
browser.
9. • Any computer can be turned into a Web
server by installing server software and
connecting the machine to the Internet. There
are many Web server software applications,
including public domain software from NCSA
and Apache, and commercial packages
from Microsoft, Netscape and others.

information resource that is suitable for
the World Wide Web and can be accessed
through a web browser and displayed on
a monitor or mobile device.

and may provide navigation to other web
pages via hypertext links.

private network, e.g. a corporate intranet, or it
may publish pages on the World Wide Web.
Web pages are requested and served from
web servers using Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP).
