- A web server is a process running on a computer that listens for incoming requests for information over the internet and sends back responses.
- Each time a user navigates to a website on their browser, the browser makes a request to the webserver of that website.
- Every website has at least one web server.
- The specific format of the request is called the protocol.
- For the simplest sites, a client makes a single request. The web server receives that request and sends a response containing everything needed to view the website. This is called a Static Website.
- The collection of programming logic required to deliver dynamic content to a client, manage security, process payments, and much more is known as the application layer.
