Last week edition of our GEM Newsletter was on the history of computer networking hope you learnt from it? Great!

 

It’s good to know you opened this week’s edition and trust us we won’t let you down.

Many a time we you have been enlightened on various topics on computer networking trust us if you have been quite following us you are almost becoming a guru in networking…..Seriously….No joke!

 

Okay, let’s do it together again this week, on a term that we use daily and erm…. So it’s associated with networking…

 

A Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to serve the files that form Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computers' HTTP clients. Dedicated computers and appliances may be referred to as Web servers as well.

 

Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name. For example, if you enter the URL gem4success.com/courses your browser, this sends a request to the Web server whose domain name is webopedia.com. The server then fetches the page named index.html and sends it to your browser. The process is an example of the client/server model.

 

Any computer can be turned into a Web server by installing server software and connecting the machine to the Internet. All computers that host Web sites must have Web server programs. Leading Web servers include Apache (the most widely-installed Web server), Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) and nginx (pronounced engine X) from NGNIX. Other Web servers include Novell's NetWare server, Google Web Server (GWS) and IBM's family of Domino servers.

 

Web servers often come as part of a larger package of Internet- and intranet-related programs for serving email, downloading requests for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) files, and building and publishing Web pages. Considerations in choosing a Web server include how well it works with the operating system and other servers, its ability to handle server-side programming, security characteristics, and the particular publishing, search engine and site building tools that come with it.
