Best Answer

Many networking services use a client-server model, where information is centralized at a server. The server will wait for requests from a "client", and once it receives one, it will reply. The functions vary widely, depending on what server you use; you have centralized storage of files, databases (as in "an oracle server"), dynamic assignment of IP addresses (DHCP server), centralized printing (print server), sharing an internet connection (Proxy server), and many others.

"Server" may refer to any of these services, but also to the computer that hosts these services.
