A server is a computer system that is used to host and manage websites.
It houses all the website related files and other resources, necessary for proper running of a website, and makes them available in response to requests received from users. Generally, servers are isolated systems and exclusively used for web hosting purposes, and in all other aspects they use almost similar hardware as a desktop PC, except that they are just CPUs, and many CPUs are managed by a single monitor.
