webkiszolgálóval

A webkiszolgálóval, or web server, is a software or hardware that processes requests from clients over HTTP or HTTPS. It is responsible for storing, processing, and delivering web pages to users. When a user types a URL into their web browser, the browser sends an HTTP request to the web server. The web server then retrieves the requested file (usually an HTML page) and sends it back to the browser as an HTTP response.

There are many different types of web server software available, including Apache HTTP Server, Nginx, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), and LiteSpeed. Each has its own set of features, performance characteristics, and licensing models. Hardware web servers are dedicated computers that are specifically designed to run web server software and handle a high volume of traffic.

Web servers are fundamental to the functioning of the World Wide Web. They enable the delivery of content, from simple text pages to complex dynamic applications, to billions of users worldwide. They can host static content, such as HTML files and images, or dynamic content generated by server-side scripting languages like PHP, Python, or Node.js. In addition to serving web pages, web servers can also be used to host APIs, stream media, and facilitate other network-based services. The reliability, speed, and security of a web server are crucial for the user experience and the success of any online service.
