Web server hardware is connected to the internet and allows data to be exchanged with other connected devices, while web server software controls how a user accesses hosted files. The web server process is an example of the client/server model. I am going with A. makes sense to me
Genuinely shocked at how many people are voting A on this. It is incredibly obvious that the MAIN purpose for a web server is hosting web pages. Yes, they can store files on them, that is not their primary purpose, that is the primary purpose of a file server.
The primary role of a web server is to store, process, and deliver requested information or webpages to end users. It uses: Physical Storage: All website data is stored on a physical web server to ensure its safety.
I think people are confusing “most common use” with “main purpose”. The most common use is D, yes. However, it is asking for the main purpose of the web server which is to host files and permissions for the website in question.
Came back to this one. The wording confused me and is likely messing others up as well. The answer is in fact D, not A like I said. I mistook the term web server and was thinking of other aspects of a website as a whole. The web server is the part that presents you with the website itself. Answer A is more of a file server.
According to ChatGPT:
D. Hosting home pages and business portals
The main function of a web server is to host websites and web applications, making them accessible to users over the internet. It receives requests from client devices (such as web browsers) and responds by serving the requested web pages and content. This includes hosting home pages and business portals, allowing users to access and interact with the information and services provided by the websites.
Going with D: Web servers mainly host websites and web apps and provide them to clients, everything else would be secondary functions in terms of a web server. Yes, they can store files but it's generally hosting files to either be served to a client (like serving up a home page) or used to run the web app. Controlling user access could make sense for managing user access to certain resources on the server, like files, but that's definitely not what web servers are known for.
The other given options are functions that servers in general can do, but they generally involve deploying different types of servers to accomplish these functions, which a web server isn't really needed for.
