4) What is a web server?

A Web server is a computer system that processes request using HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to serve the files that form Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computers' HTTP clients. All computers that host Web sites must have Web server programs. Most commonly used web server is Apache. Webservers are usually set up in facilities called Data Centers, and operated by hosting companies. The purpose of these computers is to store websites so that people can visit them on the internet. The files stored on web servers are read by browsers (such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Internet Explorer) which converts these files into images and text for you to view. Your browser communicates with web servers to bring you information from the internet.


How you would add styling to your html:

<p style="font-family:courier;">This is Michael at <b>10 minutes</b> old. Born just before midnight, our little Sagitarius night owl tuckered mama out.</p>

 To add a link in html:

Specify the target in the <a href=" ">.

Then add the text that should work as a link.

Finally add an </a> tag to indicate where the link ends

Example:

<a href= “text.html”> my first link</a>!
