What is a Server – Digging through the details

 

There are different kinds of Servers, by asking What is a Server, the asker generally wants to know about the web server, which we use to host our websites. So, in this post on What is a Server, we will not go beyond web server.

A folder of a computer with proper hardware components, excellent Internet connection, usually Linux Operating System installed becomes a server to serve the webpages to the public. There are various files on the server, which as a user you can access, but I can edit and delete them.

You might have heard of Dedicated Server. A Dedicated Server is a computer with the above conditions fulfilled intended to be used by only one Administrator.

Virtual dedicated server works like a dedicated server, but the server actually runs several operating systems totally occluded one from each.

Shared servers are those servers which are typically offered at $ 3-10 / month. These are not suitable for running busy blogs and websites.

A Cloud Server is the most modern and can be the costliest option – we are on a Cloud server, If 5 million people opens one page at a time – our server simply increase its RAM, CPU itself. Compare with dedicated or virtual dedicated – they have limited CPU and RAM like our ordinary desktop PCs.
