Web server you mean?
The term web server can mean one of two things:
1.) A computer program that is responsible for accepting HTTP requests from clients, which are known as web browsers, and serving them HTTP responses along with optional data contents, which usually are web pages such as HTML documents and linked objects (images, etc.).
2.) A computer that runs a computer program which provides the functionality described in the first sense of the term.

Specific to the Web, a Web server is the computer program (housed in a computer) that serves requested HTML pages or files.
In information technology, a server is a computer program that provides services to other computer programs (and their users) in the same or other computers.
