Any person with Internet access and a Web browser can create a Web site, and any person with Internet access and a Web browser can use that Web site. This allows for individuals, universities, corporations, governments – anyone and everyone – to share information on the Web.
The computer that sends the documents or Web pages is called the server. The computer that receives or reads the documents is called the
client. Any computer can be a server, and any computer can be a client.
For example, this tutorial sits on the server at the Boston University Medical Center library. Your computer, or the client, is using this tutorial. If you have your own Web page that other people use, then your computer becomes the server, and the users' computers are the clients.
