A server is a Reservoir of Information. Usually servers are maintained in a large/small network like Internet. When u log on to the internet,u receive all info from the server. Any system that receives such info is a PC. So Server serves while PC Receives.

A computer or device on a network that manages network resources. For example, a file server is a computer and storage device dedicated to storing files. Any user on the network can store files on the server. A print server is a computer that manages one or more printers, and a network server is a computer that manages network traffic. A database server is a computer system that processes database queries.
Servers are often dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. On multiprocessing operating systems, however, a single computer can execute several programs at once. A server in this case could refer to the program that is managing resources rather than the entire computer.

the difference is the name because you can use a home pc as a server but the major difference is a server is made to store info for multi people to access at any given time.

The differences are similar to sharing food in a Chinese restaurant whereby food are placed in the middle with a big serving spoon for dinners around the table to share the food.
The individual plates are the PC and the central plate or bowl is the server, get the point?
