For example, if you enter the URL http://www.mindstick.com/DevelopersSection in your browser, The browser sends a request to the Web server whose domain name is http://www.mindstick.com . The server find the page named “DevelopersSection.cshtml” and sends it to the browser. a computer can be turned into a Web server by installing server software and connecting the machine to the Internet. There are lots of Web server software applications, like public domain software from NCSA and Apache, and commercial packages from Microsoft, Netscape and others.
