Web servers

Imagine you are playing a game with your friends and you want to talk to them. You can't just shout because they might not be able to hear you. So what do you do? You might use a phone or a walkie-talkie to communicate with them.

A web server is like a phone or a walkie-talkie. It's a tool that helps your computer talk to other computers on the internet. When you type a website address into your browser, your computer sends a message to the web server asking for the website's information. The web server then sends the information back to your computer so you can see the website on your screen.

Web servers are very important because they store all the information that makes up a website. They can store text, images, videos, and other types of files. They also keep track of who is allowed to see certain parts of the website. For example, if you need a password to access a website, the web server will check to make sure you have the right password before it shows you the information.

Web servers are like big filing cabinets or bookshelves that store all the information on the internet. They organize everything so that you can find what you're looking for and see it on your computer. Without web servers, we wouldn't be able to access websites, read articles, or watch videos online.
