597952
A server is a computer that delivers information to another. The ones you probably see most frequently are web servers, that delivers HTML pages to your computer so you can see them, or streaming audio servers, that sends audio information to your computer so you can listen to Internet radio.\n\n'Hosting' means that a person or company with a server ('host') offers to let it deliver *your* information, like your web page. You often have to pay for it, but in exchange they make sure that their server is always accessible (ready to deliver information), keeps your data safe from hackers and crashes, etc.

In simple terms: \n\nA server is a powerful computer that serves, i.e. performs some sort of task, for other, usually smaller, computers attached to it via cables or phone lines. These smaller computers are called clients.\n\nHere's an example: When you're at home browing the web, your computer, or to be picky your browser software, is the client and it connects to a server via your phone line. When you want to view a web page or download a file, your computer (client) contacts the server and asks it to fetch the page or file and send it back to you. Simple.

depends on what you mean by *server* and what you want it to do.  Very few ordinary people will need a server, however if all you want to do is sharing files between two or more computers, you can add a hard drive to one of your computers and "share" which is possible in both Windows and Linux as relatively simple operations.\n\nOne thing to make sure is that you should never turn off the power to your *server* as it would stop serving.   If that troubles you you can buy out-of-the-box "network disks" or "network storage" which are in fact a small computer with a disk drive attached.\n\nFor more complex server configurations such as email servers, or web servers for web pages you are better of trying to establish what your internet service provider is offering.

A web server application will allow you to host web pages and other files so other people can access your public files.\n\nMost people use web servers to host web sites but any computer connected to the web with the correct software will also work.\n\nPersonally, I use web server software to test my websites before I 'go-live' so that the public do not see my mistakes.\n\nI wouldn't use my PC as a web server because it would just slow down to an annoying level - all those people accessing your files will definitely have an effect on processing power.

Buy it.  No one is stopping you here.\n\nDo you mean a dedicated server at an ISP for hosting a web site?  \n\n<rant>\nIt's really insane this site - people ask 6 word questions with no context and expect a good answer to their question.\n</rant>\n\nFind an ISP that sells them and buy them.  Call a computer manufacturer and order one. A dedicated server for WHAT?

Nameservers, or DNS Servers, are servers that provide mapping between internet names (like "answers.yahoo.com") and IP addresses (like "209.191.70.167").  They are essential for the operation of the internet as we know it.  Without name servers, you would have to know the IP address of every website you wanted to browse or every mail server you wanted send mail to or through.\n\nThere are a variety of name records that are stored on a DNS server.  They include:\n\nSOA -- Start of Authority records that tell you information about how to reach a domain's servers and owner\n\nA -- Address records that do a direct map of name to address\n\nCNAME -- Alias records that tell you that, for example, "Answers.yahoo.com" really means you need to look up "web-vip1.search.mud.yahoo.com".\n\nPTR -- Reverse address records that tell you what name is associated with a specific address.\n\nAnd, the one you asked about:\n\nMX -- Mail Exchanger records.  MX records tell you, in order, which mail server handles inbound e-mail for a specific domain.  When you send e-mail to, for example, bgates@microsoft.com, your mail server checks the mx records for microsoft.com.  Starting with the one that has the lowest priority number, it tries to deliver the e-mail to that box.  If that box is down, or it gets back a non-fatal error message, then it moves to the box with the next highest priority number.\n\nThe sources will tell you MUCH more information.

It means that you enter a non-existent name of server.\nFor example http://www.fghfghdfghdfgh.com/.\n\nYour web browser (for example) asks for this domain name its DNS server. That DNS server does not know this domain name and asks another (usually higher) DNS server and so on.\n\nIn some time, when your DNS server is sure that it is not possible to find this name, it returns to browser that server name cannot be found.\n\nIt usually means that you mispell writing server name.\nIf it repeats with ALL the names (for example, with http://microsoft.com/ etc), then something may be wrong with your DNS server or you enter wrong DNS IP address.
