Web Server________☆☆☆
A Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to serve the files that form Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computers' HTTP clients. Dedicated computers and appliances may be referred to as Web servers as well.
The process is an example of the client/server model. All computers that host Web sites must have Web server programs. Leading Web servers include Apache (the most widely-installed Web server), Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) and nginx (pronounced engine X) from NGNIX. Other Web servers include Novell's NetWare server, Google Web Server (GWS) and IBM's family of Domino servers.
APPLICATION SERVER_______☆☆☆☆☆
An application server is a software framework that provides both facilities to create web applications and a server environment to run them. ... An application server acts as a set of components accessible to the software developer through a standard API defined for the platform itself.
