A web server is a service you pay for (usually). There are two main parts to a website. The domain name, then the web server.
The domain name must be registered through a registrar, like www.godaddy.com, yahoo domains, or www.networksolutions.com, etc... This establishes your domain name.
Web Servers. These vary in price and services to a great degree, like some cost $4 to $15 a month paid annually, while some servers cost $100/month or more. You're paying for bundled services like bandwidth (amount of traffic), file space, & application softwares. All of your files you want to share are uploaded here, and your webserver works together with your registered domain name.

If you need to know the meanings of other terms or acronym's, sorry Yahoo, I use Google.
Type "Define:CPU" for example. It will lead straight to many dictionary's telling you its the Central Processing Unit
