What is a Server 🌱

A server, in very simple terms, is a computer with a different configuration to your desktop computer.

It is a computer where multiple clients can connect for a specific service over a network.

Servers can either be dedicated to one specific service, or you can run multiple different services on it, depending on your needs.

Server Hardware Requirements 🌱 are different from that of a normal desktop computer due to how many requests for data a server needs to be able to process and how many functions it needs to do simultaneously.

If you want to make your own Home Server 🌳 you could start with using an old computer to figure out how it works and what your needs are before committing to buying all the parts you would need.
