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
A Server is a PC, any PC can be used as a Server. It runs specific software for all kinds of things. Like a Web-Server. It runs all day and night and does the thing that the software is telling it todo, like showing you a website when you visit a site, handle the users/products/maintaince of a webshop and so on.
Most of the time, you don’t sit in front of a server, its sits in a data center with hundres/thousand other PCs, but you could turn your own PC into one.
