Server

Jump to: navigation, search

A server is a system (software and suitable computer hardware) that responds to requests across a computer network to provide, or help to provide, a network service. Servers can be run on a dedicated computer, which is also often referred to as "the server", but many networked computers are capable of hosting servers. In many cases, a computer can provide several services and have several servers running.


For this Wiki a dedicated or listening server will refer to a server that hosts a particular game such as Counter-Strike.
