For a 'textbook' definition:
>>Server - A computer on a network that is dedicated to a particular purpose and which stores all information and performs the critical functions for that purpose. For example, a Web server would store all files related to a Web site and perform all work necessary for hosting the Web site. Most congressional offices have at least one server that is dedicated as both a network server and a file server. This means that, in its network server role, the computer is responsible for holding the files and managing the processes that enable everyone in the office to access and use the network. In its file server role, it holds the central computer files and the CMS database.<<ref: http://www.congressonlineproject.org/glossary.html#S

Typically, specific servers run better with different hardware configurations.
A database server would benefit from faster processors and disks than a standard file and print server...

jay4,
Guess I'm still lost here then.
You can ask what a server has for CPU, RAM, Disks, etc - and get 50,000 different combinations.
What do you need here?
Servers also come in many varieties as far as OS/NOS (Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac, Novell Netware, etc, etc, etc....)

may be your server is for personal use, if i am going launch server for any organization what kind of server will be suitable and minimum capacity.
for example in hotel.
I really interested buying server for my own use how difficult it is to configure, and how much does it cost if i want to have my own server. for file, web etc.
thanx

Good servers are set up with redundant disks (RAID) to limit hard disk failures from crashing the server (one drive dies - you simply replace it). They may also be designed to devote their resources to network throughput rather than local processes...
