A server is also a computer with certain enchancements. On the hardware side the server would have more memory, a very high speed read/write acess storage device (hard disk) with mirroring facility and may have two or three ethernet cards to connect two or three networks. On the software side you require a server operating system like windows NT server/ Windows 2000 server or Linux server etc., The function of server is to provide a common storage system to all its users to share the files / programs amongst themselves. Buy the requrired hardware and software and create your own server. Both the hardware and software are available in the computer market..

server is basically a computer with high configuration,
In my office one server has 800gb of memory and 10 gb of ram, while a personal computer will be having say 80gb of hard disk and 1gb of ram.
Server can do lots of things, it depends how you configure it,
a webserver will accept users from the website user and do the required task, as its configuration is high it can handle lot many requests,
you can make your own pc as a server, but then it wont perform much because PC's have less ram and all, you can buy a server from HP, Compaq, dell or even your next door computerwalla
