What is a Server?
A server is a large, powerful computer that is always connected to the internet with a very (and we mean very) fast connection.
This computer's primary function is to store the files that make up your website.
When someone types the address for your website into their web browser, the computer they are using connects to this server and downloads those website files.
These files are then processed and used to display your website within their browser.
