There’s hardly anyone in today’s time that doesn’t know what a server is. Web servers are powerful computers that store websites and make them available on the internet. They store website files, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, videos, and other resources, and deliver them to web browsers whenever customers request them. Ever wondered how a server works? Watch our video to know more about how a server works.

Things explained in the video:
-What is a web server?
-How do servers work?

Here are the benefits of Web servers:

1) Web servers play a pivotal role in ensuring businesses’ online visibility. Here are some benefits of website servers.

2) Web servers are reliable and trustworthy. They ensure that your website is always accessible to your visitors.

3) Every website has in-built systems such as firewalls and SSL encryption to block cyberattacks. Web servers are equipped with security features to protect your website from cyber threats and attacks.

4) With the help of web servers you can get more control over your website's configuration. It helps you customize the website’s appearance, features, and others to meet customer needs.

5) Web servers can handle a large volume of traffic and can easily scale up or down as your website traffic fluctuates.

6) Web servers are optimized and can deliver content quickly to visitors, improving user experience. Hosting your website on a web server can be more cost-effective than using a dedicated server. That’s because you only pay for the resources you use in web resources.

this is the most productive 1 min video I have ever seen

[trickydicky]

Not the most informative, but explained so freaking much that I've seen be explained in 10-minute videos. Great job!

[bunnybug]

You cleared up so many questions and so much confusion I had in all five of my classes and you managed to get straight to the point so I didn't waste valuable homework time waiting for the point in the video where things were explained. Thank you!!

I just posted this on BigScoots Facebook page: I am SO HAPPY with the PERFORMANCE of my Wordpress site on Bigscoots SHARED hosting I am glad to let the thieves at Bluehost keep my money.

Just got off the phone with Bluehost (who will not pro-rate any funds that were paid annually for VPS hosting). It's going to cost me $90 roughly.

My site which has hundreds of videos moves 200% faster than the BlueHost server!

I have used different hosting companies for more than 20 years. Bigscoots JAW DROPPING customer service and WORLD CLASS server performance is second to none. I hope I never wake up from this dream come true.

You should do a quick explanation of what zone records management is. Developers and designers know it well, and I've had to explained it a handful of times to clients who don't quite understand the relationship between hosting, sites, and DNS managers.

[pinakadhara]

Thank you. But why did you break the bottle!? XD

[YashPatel-vwnz]

Thanks for the video. I'm sure this will help with sales.

[patrickjones]

[rashedshahnewazkhan]

Great video, you are concise, efficient and cute. Thanks my dear!

[peterheri]

yees, can you do a video on reseller hosting,

[thegospellight]

The video content and presentation was good but it was tooo short sweetie.

[maxechendu]

Lol I was about to exit the video thinking I searched for the wrong server... I need to be more patient.

[rajarampatel]

How can a server, serve millions of peoples simultaneously? I mean it requires atleast 1 million mbps speed for serving their requests at one time

[razielgrey]

I 💜 how you dumbed that down for me. Its not easy to explain tech to a 5 year old...when it comes to technology my learning curve is equivalent lol. And I claim to own a tech LLC 🙄Now that you taught me about servers, can you tell me about cores? I'm looking into this AWS thing and I'm having difficulty pricing a project. Oh...and please follow the young radical CEO on IG @legion_tech_ceo

[jamesgordon]

I have a degree and a higher degree but you didn't convince me that a server was anything significant.
