What is a web server?
A web server is software that runs on a server and is responsible for storing and delivering web pages to users. When you type a website address into your browser, your computer sends a request to the web server, which responds by sending the requested web pages and other data.

Web servers can be thought of as intermediaries between your computer and the Internet. They play a vital role in the operation of the World Wide Web, making it possible to access websites.

Web server functions:

• Storing web pages: A web server stores the files that make up a website, such as HTML pages, images, CSS files, and JavaScript files.
• Request processing: When a user types a website address into their browser, their computer sends a request to the web server. The server interprets the request and finds the appropriate files on the server.
• Sending responses: Once the web server finds the requested files, it sends them back to the user's computer.
• Protocol support: Web servers use various protocols to interact with clients, such as HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.
• Ensuring security: Web servers can be configured to ensure the security of websites from unauthorized access and attacks.

Types of web servers:
There are many different web servers, each with their own benefits and features.

Some of the most popular web servers are:

• Apache HTTP Server: One of the oldest and most widely used web servers, known for its reliability and flexibility.
• Nginx: A lightweight and productive web server that has proven itself well in handling high-load websites.
• Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS): A web server included with Windows operating systems.
• Lighttpd: A simple and fast web server that is well suited for static websites.
• Cherokee: A modular web server that can be extended with various plugins.

Choosing a web server depends on your specific needs and the requirements of your website.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing a web server:

• Performance: How much traffic can the web server handle?
• Security: What security features does the web server offer?
• Scalability: Can the web server grow with your site?
• Ease of use: How easy is the web server to set up and use?
• Support: What kind of support does the web server provider offer?
