Server

Servers are an important component of a website that delivers content, handles requests, and manages resources accordingly. The data collected from the web server is stored physically. When an end-user searches your website’s URL with the keyword, a request is generated and sent to the server to process the data. Web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox can find the web server where the data is located. After finding the server, it reads the request and processes the information.
