A web server is software (or the hardware running it) that stores, processes, and delivers web pages to users' browsers upon request, using protocols like HTTP/HTTPS. Common web server software includes Apache, Nginx, and Microsoft IIS, which handle tasks like routing requests, serving static files, and managing SSL certificates. Understanding web servers is essential for developers and system administrators responsible for deploying and maintaining websites.
