A9.) In net lingo a server is a computer that serves many things from user, or client machines. A server may only do a few things or it may handle many responsibilities such as email service, backup service, remote access and more. Everything a server does is called a service. Services are used by other computers that are called clients. The relationship between the client and the server is called a client-server relationship. For example, many modern corporations have a web server which has a service for sending web pages over the Internet. Your client computer talks to the company's web page service to get web pages for you when you connect such as for online banking.
So that servers and clients can talk to each other, they need to be connected to a network, and they need to use the same protocol. In networks, a protocol is a set way for machines to talk to other machines - like a language. For example, the Wikipedia server runs the HTTP (Hyper-text transfer protocol) to send web sites to your computer, and your computer uses the HTTP Protocol to ask Wikipedia for pages.
Usually, servers are specially made to be more powerful and reliable, and they are more expensive than normal computers. Sometimes, servers can be clustered, which means that lots of servers work together to do one service.
In a peer to peer system, every computer is both a client and a server to each other.
