A web server is a computer system that processes requests via HTTP, the basic network protocol used to distribute information on the World Wide Web.
A web server is a system that serves the web pages (include content, images, etc.) to a web browser. A web server comprises the physical server, server system software (Apache or Microsoft’s IIS or other) and server OS (Windows or Linux or other).
A web browser communicates with the web server via HTTP. Whenever a web browser sends an HTTP request to a web server, the web server responds with HTML webpages and some additional information like java applets and others.
The web servers are the basic blocks on which a web hosting company works. You can find more by reading How Does Web Hosting Works?
