Web Server

Web server is software that functions as a recipient of requests sent through a browser and then provides a response to requests in the form of web site pages or more generally in HTML documents. However, a web server can have two different meanings, namely as part of hardware (hardware) and as part of software (software). In 1990 a web server was a project he proposed to his superiors at CERN (European Nuclear Research Organization) named CERN httpd which was proposed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. This web server runs on a NeXT server. NeXT is a company founded by Steve Jobs after leaving Apple.

Web Server Functions:

So, in addition to functioning as a communication link with websites and processing HTTP requests sent by browsers, in general some of the functions of a web server are as follows:

  1. Ensure all required modules are available and ready to use
  2. Clean up unused storage, cache, and modules
  3. Perform security checks on HTTP requests sent by browsers

However, if separated based on the understanding of the web server as hardware and the web server as software, then the function is as follows:

  • Web Serve As Hardware

The Web Server (to distinguish it I use a capital prefix) is in charge of storing scripts, images, and website page content. The web server must be accessible from all areas that have an internet connection. You can get a Web Server from the best Indonesian hosting service provider that suits your needs. There are several requirements that can be considered when choosing a server hosting service provider for your website. Servers must be fast, have large storage capacity, and have sufficient RAM capacity.

  • Web Server As Software

In addition to storage, the function of the web server is as software that serves requests from browsers. There are many web servers currently happening, one of them is Apache
