What is a web server?

A web server is a software and hardware that uses HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and other protocols to respond to the client requests made over the WWW. The main job of a web server is to display website content through storing, processing and delivering webpages to users. Beside HTTP, web servers support SMTP(Simple Mail ..) and FTP (File ..) used for mail, file transfer and storage.
