Web servers are software applications that deliver web content to clients over the internet, utilizing the HTTP protocol for communication. Key aspects of effective web server management include configuration, security practices, load balancing, performance optimization, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Implementing automation and regular backups ensures reliability, efficiency, and data protection.

2. Web servers are software applications or computer systems that
deliver web content (such as web pages, files, images, videos) to
clients (typically web browsers) over the internet. They handle
requests from clients and respond with the requested resources.

3. The HTTP protocol is the foundation of communication on
the web. It defines the structure of requests and
responses between clients and servers. Understanding its
methods and status codes is crucial for effective web
server management.

7. Optimizing web server
performance involves caching,
compression, and content
delivery networks. These
techniques improve response
times and reduce server load,
enhancing the overall user
experience.
