Cyber Terminology: What is a Web Server?

Web servers, simply put, are computers hooked up to the Internet that host Web sites. When you type in a Web address into your Web browser, you are directing your computer to the Web server that hosts the site where it requests information. Along with the request, your computer also sends your IP address so that the Web server knows where to send the information. The Web server then sends the information back to your computer, and the Web site you requested pops onto your screen.

And to think, all you had to do was type a few words and press enter!
