Best Answer

Websites only need one server to function, however many have redundant servers or extra servers that handle certain aspects of the site. Most websites are hosted from server farms where there are hundreds of servers in operation.

Do you host web servers in dmz only?

No we can not configured the web servers in DMZ because DMZ act as border(SSL) for web server & also act as a proxy server. This is only host outside DMZ because all inbound & outbound traffic should go through DMZ only. The above answer is partially correct; you would want to host any server in a DMZ that has public (Internet) access because it is a semi-trusted network, and is a perimeter boundary between the untrusted network (Internet) and your trusted internal network. Servers in a DMZ are bound to be attacked, compromised, etc., and you want to separate them from the rest of your network. DMZ servers are hardened servers for that purpose. Any system can be placed in a DMZ because most default traffic is routed to the DMZ unless specifically placed elsewhere. Having said that, web servers are commonly used internally in company networks, for the purpose of supplying information to the community inside the network. Intranets use web servers commonly for that purpose.
