Web Server

web server is a computer system that processes requests via HTTP, the basic network protocol used to distribute information on the World Wide Web. The term can refer either to the entire system, or specifically to the software that accepts and supervises the HTTP requests.
The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, or other web uses.
The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Pages delivered are most frequently HTML documents, which may include images, style sheets and scripts in addition to text content.

Whatsapp Vs Telegram

WhatsApp and Telegram are the two leading messaging applications today. Telegram is the most recent, though less popular and has emerged to give some little competition to WhatsApp’s 450 million user base. With the recent takeover of WhatsApp by Facebook , Telegram may just have gotten the break it needs. But what makes one better than the other? Similarities: Both use the same identification formula (mobile number) and are very similar in the user interface, even the conversation view. You can still chat on groups; send pictures on videos on Telegram too. Differences: WhatsApp is relatively slow compared to Telegram.
