    Understanding Servers: John Ryan B. Lorca Instructor I

    A server is a computer that provides shared resources like files or printers to other computers on a network. In a client-server architecture, the server stores and provides access to all shared network resources while clients request and access those resources. A web server stores and makes web pages and files available over the Internet, while a database server stores database records that can be accessed by client or server applications remotely, including over the Internet. Server-side scripting languages like PHP and ASP act as a middle layer between HTML and database servers. For education, a single computer can be used to simulate both web and database server functions using software like Apache, IIS, MySQL, and PostGreSQL.
