A web server, also known as an internet server, is a computer software and hardware system that delivers website content and/or services to computer users over the internet. Web servers enable website functionality by using HTTP to deliver web pages to browsers and other data files to internet-based applications.
Small and midsize businesses should choose a reliable web server to host their website. If the web server that hosts a company's website fails, then so will the website, causing them to miss out on potential customers. A reliable web server ensures that your sales and marketing teams can capture the attention of every potential customer that visits your website.
