Hello Friends,

Please tell me what is server.

In information technology, a server is a computer program that provides services to other computer programs (and their users) in the same or other computers.

Well, you need to understand types of web hosting. There are shared, VPS, semi-dedicated, dedicated and colocation hosting.
As for dedicated server hosting, it can give you more control over your website. It can also help to ensure that other customers' websites don't impact on your website. Using dedicated servers is much more expensive than shared hosting, but if your site receives lots of traffic or you have other requirements (such as extra security requirements), dedicated server hosting could be for you.

Taking the advantage of the opportunity, can recommend you to check out Webis.pt and their dedicated servers (https://www.webis.pt/en/dedicated-servers.php) - pricing, features and resources are unique.
Overall reliability is great, the control panel is easy to use, and useful, things work the way they say they will - basically impressed with these guys.

In a technical sense, a server is an instance of a computer program that accepts and responds to requests made by another program; known as a client. Less formally, any device that runs server software could be considered a server as well. Servers are used to manage network resources.

1) In information technology, a server is a computer program that provides services to other computer programs (and their users) in the same or other computers.
2) The computer that a server program runs in is also frequently referred to as a server (though it may be used for other purposes as well).
3) In the client/server programming model, a server is a program that awaits and fulfills requests from client programs in the same or other computers. A given application in a computer may function as a client with requests for services from other programs and also as a server of requests from other programs.
Specific to the Web, a Web server is the computer program (housed in a computer) that serves requested HTML pages or files. A Web client is the requesting program associated with the user. The Web browser in your computer is a client that requests HTML files from Web servers.
