What is server? What is server application and device?
Category: Hosting, ServersThe notion for server is related to the science of information technology (IT). The server can be a device or application. The work of the server is to perform and maintain the comfort ability of the clients, who are connected in some kind of client-server “architecture”. The RFC 2616 defines the server application as an application program, which sends back responses in a result of accepting different connections in the form of service requests. The server devices or server computers are specially designed with the purpose of running the server applications. They need a minimal human control and work normally for extended time-periods. The types of servers are e-mail servers, file servers, web servers, and others.
