A web server is made up of hardware and software that work together to store files and control how people access those files on the web. It connects to the internet and takes an active role in the interchange between connected devices and data. Web servers store and deliver the content on a website, including video, images, text, and data. To create websites, you need one of two types of web servers: static or dynamic. Static web servers are sometimes called "stack." This web server is made up of hardware and HTTP software. It sends files without any updates or alterations to the browser requesting them. Dynamic web servers, which are made of static web servers with additional software, update files before sending them from the server to the browser.‎
