Web server and web browser Web Server:

1. Web servers are computers that deliver (serves up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name. For example, if you enter the URL http://www.biswaranjan.com/index.html in your browser, this sends a request to the Web server whose domain name is biswaranjan.com. The server then fetches the page named index.html and sends it to your browser. 2. Web server interacts with the client through a web browser. It delivers the web pages to the client and to an application by using the web browser and the HTTP protocols respectively. 3.
