+ | A computer that delivers (serves up) Web pages. Every single Web server has an IP address and a domain name (in most cases). For example, if you type the URL http://www.google.com/index.html in your web browser, this sends a request to the server whose domain name is google.com. The server then fetches the page named index.html and sends it to your browser. | ||
