Servers, as their name hints, are there to provide some service. Network, e-mail, database, web-site, proxy, whatever, they each have their purpose - and the name comes from the service they provide.

servers r also computers but r more powerful .these r used when there is a networking.It is the main computer which handles all other computers in the network.servers have all information about thier clients and maintain the main database
so that in case of failure of any client, the information can be collected from servers easily.

Servers are dedicated machines which store files for public web viewing... It's basically a computer that's always on and sharing select files to the web... Servers also manage workgroups, handle DNS records, broadcast TV shows, and much, much more...
