yes
A web server is software installed on a computer that allows other computers to access specific files on that computer/server. There are many reasons to create your own home servers. For example: file sharing, so you can download files from your home computer from anywhere or you can create a web site on own server etc.
A server network is a computer that links devices together. and a desktop is known as a PC(Personal Computer) for a home user, business, etc use.
Your hard drive can't work as a server on it's own. A server is simply a computer running server software. If your question was, "can my computer work as a server without it's hard drive," the answer is no. Your computer can't work at all without a hard drive. You can buy a home server for as little as $100, which you can connect to your router for remote access.
The POP protocol, by default, downloads messages to your computer and then deletes them from the mail server. If you leave all of your email on a primary computer (for example, your office computer) but want to have access to recently received email on a secondary computer (a home computer), you should leave your messages on the server for a limited period of time.
Depends on what type of server. If you just mean for a file server for your home network, then yes. Very easily. But this is technically not a server. If you are looking to create a domain for a large network, use it as a DNS Server, Active Directory, or Web server, then chances are your home PC does not have the specifications required to do this.
A local computer is the machine you are currently logged into, a remote computer is a computer you are accessing from your local computer. So, if I connect to my home computer from work, my home computer is the remote computer, and my work computer is the local. Conversely, if I connect to my work computer from home, my work computer is the remote computer, and my home computer is the local.
Cloud computing is a server database that allows the computer's owner. There are many different databases that you can set up, allowing you to easily set up the server for your home based computer.
You do not need a exchange server for a home network. This is considered an 'accessory' to a home computer. If you wish to buy them you will pay $150 or more. http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/en-us/default.aspx
Desktop computers are intended to use at home or at office at the same place. they don't have integrated the screen, keyboard and mouse Server computers are designed to be used to be a server (such as a web server, sql server or other) Laptop computers are made for taking them to travel. they are smaller and they have screen, keyboard and mouse integrated hope this helps
Home Server? never heard of it. You should be able to just install the CD and boot from it. Most Operating Systems will load just fine.
The program "Remote Desktop" is used to access a computer or server from a different location. Using your smartphone or your computer at work you can access your home computer by entering a security key, which authorizes you to do work on your home computer from your phone. This allows you to write or make changes on your home computer using another computer or your smartphone.
Yes, you can convert your home computer into a server. You only need to attain the software for it. The best operating system to run a server on is Linux. I currently have a laptop running as a server sitting on my desk, and I can use it like a normal computer. If you want to make your computer a server that is available to the world, such as a webserver, you will need to locate the software for web hosting. Once installed and set up, you can configure your router to accept incoming HTTP traffic and forward it to your server. You can still use your computer even after it has been set up to run the software. You have to be careful not to turn it off tho, otherwise whatever you have on it will be unavailable. Most home computers have the hardware to run the software, but when faced with high traffic, may become very sluggish, slow, and not respond well. A few problems you might encounter when using a computer as a server would be a dynamic IP address which makes it nearly impossible to have a long-term server. Internet speed and ISP limits may make this rather annoying and costly.
