text: do you know about servers? i need to set up a server because i need to provide on-line space for streamed showreels for actors. unfortunately i don't know the first thing about servers. i searched on the net for information, but all i get is either a monthly prices, or something that looks like a pc but not quite. is a server something you run from home or is it something virtual you buy (a bit like a domain)? i would really appreciate if you knew where to get informtion about servers for beginners. thanks. a server is a computer system that provides services to other computing systems—called clients—over a network. the term server can refer to hardware (such as a sun computer system) or software (such as an rdbms server).  for more click here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/server_%28computing%29#description
