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?

Some very good answers here. I will add that servers also provide redundancy for the data. Most will have multiple hard drives that are in a RAID configuration (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) and multiple power supplies, so they can always stay available in case one piece of hardware fails. Client computers typically have one drive and one power supply.
