A home server is like a big computer that lives in your house and does a lot of different things. It can store all your files, photos, music, and videos in one place. It can act like a very powerful gaming computer so you can play all your games on it. It can also act like an internet server and allow you to share your internet connection with friends and family, or even set up a website so everyone can access information you've shared. It can help with backups (copying data to another location) of all the computers in your house so your data is safe if something goes wrong. And more! All this in one computer that you can use in your house!
