- Serversearch for term
-
A computer that provides services to other computers.
A server is a computer that provides resources or services to other computers. Though servers are often powerful and purpose built, in many applications this is not necessary. A computer that is used for only one server application is often named as such. For example, when the software Apache HTTP Server is used as the web server for a company's website, the computer running Apache is also called the web server.
