Types of servers
Before we look into the types of servers you need to understand that there are two kinds of server platforms.
- Physical servers; this is a tangible piece of hardware often stored on-site or in a dedicated location. Often they are used to run applications and operating systems.
- Virtual Servers; these are often offsite and considered to be more cost efficient that their physical counterparts. In addition the user can have virtual servers split into different virtual environments that serve different areas of the business/company.
Now that you are familiar with a server and how it works, we look into the different types of servers that are available for you. As mentioned earlier, servers are meant to either process information or store data while handling complex processes. Taking this into consideration it must mean that there are different kinds of servers for different purposes. Below we look into them and what they are meant for.
Web Server
As the name implies a web server is used to host web pages. However, it should not be confused with a website host. It works by receiving your request then sending back the requested page from the hosting platform.
Mail Server
This is a server that is uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to handle the sending and receiving of emails. They can also store these email messages for access on a later date.
Database Servers.
These are used to store product information, user login information and inventory. They are often used in conjunction with other servers as they store data in groups by use of tables.
DNS Servers.
Also called the ‘internet’s phonebook due their ability to transform user-domain information into machine-readable IP addresses.
File Servers.
They are used to save files for users on the same network. Users are able to access, edit and save files that are present on these servers.
DCHP Servers.
Used to provide IP addresses to computers on the same network. At the same time they provide network settings for the default gateways and DNS Servers.
