A web server is computer software and underlying hardware that accepts requests via HTTP (the network protocol created to distribute web content) or its secure variant HTTPS.

- Web server

A resource sent from a web server can be a preexisting file (static content) available to the web server, or it can be generated at the time of the request (dynamic content) by another program that communicates with the server software.

- Web server

A web browser, for example, may be the client whereas a process, named web server, running on a computer hosting one or more websites may be the server.

- Hypertext Transfer Protocol

HTTP has been in use since 1990, HTML, as standard, since 1996.

- Dynamic web page

In HTTP/1.1 instead a TCP connection can be reused to make multiple resource requests (i.e. of HTML pages, frames, images, scripts, stylesheets, etc.).

- Hypertext Transfer Protocol

A program running on a web server (server-side scripting) is used to generate the web content on various web pages, manage user sessions, and control workflow.
