web server or web server is server software, or hardware dedicated to running this software, which can meet the demands of clients on the World Wide Web. A web server can, in general, contain one or more web sites. The web server processes incoming network requests via HTTP and several other related protocols.

The main function of a web server is to store, process, and send web pages to clients. [1] Communication between client and server takes place using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Submitted pages are most commonly HTML documents, which may include images, style sheets and scripts in addition to text content.


Multiple web servers can be used for high traffic websites; here, the Dell server is shared for the Wikimedia Foundation.
The user agent, generally a web browser or web crawler, initiates communication by making a request for a specific resource using HTTP and the server responds with the content of that resource or an error message if it is unable to do so. Resources are usually real files on the server's secondary storage, but this is not necessarily the case and depends on how the web server is implemented.

While its main function is to serve content, the full HTTP implementation also includes the way of receiving content from the client. This feature is used for submitting web forms, including uploading files.

Web servers are often found embedded in devices such as printers, routers, webcams and serve only local networks. The web server can then be used as part of the system to monitor or manage the device in question. This usually means that no additional software has to be installed on the client computer as only a web browser (which is now included with most operating systems) is required.
