Question

What do you understand by a web server?

Answer 1

A web server is a computer system or software application that stores, processes, and delivers web pages to users over the internet using protocols like HTTP and HTTPS. When a user enters a URL into a web browser, the browser sends a request to the web server, which then locates and transmits the requested website files back to the user's device for display. Popular examples of web server software include Apache HTTP Server, Nginx, and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
