What Is A Web Server?

A web server is nothing less than the heart of the Internet. Regardless of which company you select to host your website, it's important to understand some of the technical details about how they work.

Every host has specialized computers called servers which connect to the Internet and 'serve' web pages when they are requested by Internet users.

That is, when someone wishes to view a certain web page by clicking on a link the request is sent to the particular computer (server) where that web page is stored.

The server responds by sending HTML data across the Internet. To serve web pages quickly, the server must have fast connections to the Internet.

For the fastest speed and greatest reliability try to select a web hosting company that has multiple high-speed connections to the Internet as well as reliable back-up power supplies in case power outages.
