server

A server is a person or object which provides services to someone or something.

A server computer, sometimes called an enterprise server, is a computer system that provides fundamental services across a network, to private users inside a large organization, or to public users on the internet.

Different types of servers include web servers, print servers, and database servers.

In computing, a server is any combination of hardware or software designed to provide services to clients.

The term 'server' typically refers to any computer or device running a server operating system and serving out applications or services. For example, a DSL/Cable modem router qualifies as a server because it provides a computer with application services like IP address assignment.

You'll find bloggers talking about servers at sites like The Server Appliance Blog and The Tech Hot Spot Blog.
