Web servers are the computers that actually run web
sites. The term "web server" also refers
to the piece of software that runs on those computers,
accepting HTTP connections from web browsers and delivering
web pages and other files to them, as well as processing
form submissions. The most common web server software
is Apache, followed by Microsoft Internet Information
server; many, many other web server programs also
exist. For more information about web servers and
how to arrange hosting for your own web pages, see
the creating web sites section.
