Web Server

Web server is the principal computer or server that stores contents of different website. It provides data and information to computers on request which are connected to it through the network via internet.

In other words, it can be said that it is a computer that stores data and runs software that are designed to send web pages in file format when requested by web browsers.


The server is usually a computer of high configuration i.e. with a large storage capacity and high speed processor instruction very fast.

Web server is responding for accepting request from client, i.e., web browser and responding in the form of web pages. It accepts connections from web browser all over the internet and when requested send them HTML documents using HTTP protocol. The server computers should have a high speed connection of internet and should be powerful enough to handle multiple simultaneous connections at a time.

Some popular web server are Apache, IBM, Lotus, 'Internet Information Server (IIS)' of Microsoft, etc. Apache is an open source web server. 

A web client is the host computer that request different types of services from the web server. The clients may be PCs, Software or workstations.

What is an NFT? (Non Fungible Token) NFT's explained

Guys, You must have heard the words NFT or Blockchain recently. That is, Jack Dorsey is selling his first tweet, a lot of people are selling digital art paintings. These are being sold through NFTs. Here, I'm talking about the NFT, not NEFT that is used in banking transactions. Because NFT has emerged as an important word in the realm of technology.  It is quite unique but still not many people know about this. So, let's dive deep into the NFT or the Non Fungible Tokens. And if you enjoy reading this article then do share it with others. You might feel odd to talk about NFT, but if you look at Blockchain implementation of which was Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin, just like that NFT is it's second implementation. And the profit of this implementation is you can sell unique, expensive, valuable, rare and one of a kind things.  What's the meaning of one of a kind? Its pretty simple, there's only one piece of a certain thing existing in the world. It means, the value of a ...

Unraveling the Mysteries of Quantum Computers: A Glimpse into the Future of Computing

In the realm of computer science, the concept of quantum computing stands as a beacon of unprecedented potential. Unlike classical computers that rely on bits to process information in binary form (0s and 1s), quantum computers harness the mind-bending principles of  quantum mechanics to manipulate quantum bits or qubits. This revolutionary approach holds the promise of solving complex problems at speeds that traditional computers could only dream of. Let's delve deeper into the enigmatic world of quantum computing. Understanding Quantum Computer: At the heart of quantum computing lies the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. Qubits possess the unique ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to a phenomenon called superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform parallel computations on a scale unimaginable with classical computers. Furthermore, quantum computers leverage another principle of quantum mechanics known as entanglement. Entangle...
