I hear the word server in all sorts of contexts whenever computers are involved. What is a server and how does it relate to a PC?
In: Technology
All the other answers are right, but I wanted to add that a server is more accurately described as a piece of software that provides resources to some other piece of software. It doesn’t have to be a special computer, and it doesn’t even have to provide those resources to a separate computer. You can run a webserver locally and access it from the same computer.
