Introduction
Web server can refer to either the hardware (the computer) or the software (the computer application) that helps to deliver content that can be accessed through the Internet.
The most common use of web servers is to host web sites but there are other uses like data storage or for running enterprise applications.
The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages on the request to clients.
This means delivery of HTML documents and any additional content that may be included by a document, such as images, style sheets and scripts.
Web servers are not always used for serving the world wide web.
