What is a server?


Question Posted Wednesday July 8 2009, 2:34 am

I know that DangerNerd said the server for Advicenators was moving or moved or something and I was just curious about it...what is a server in relation to a website (or this specific website)? Just curious, no real reason! haha

Basically, the server is the computer that all the data for advicenators is stored on. When you log onto this site, the server sends all the data for the web page to your computer. Its basically a ridiculously large amount of memory attached to a powerful processor that lets it be accessed by a large number of people at once.
