Well, ive been looking around for stuff about building/uses/maintence of a server. I dont know exactly what it is, what exactly it does and how you are able to use it as well a server for other people. I', just asking for a link that could satisfy my requests because i have been wording it wrong in google and nothing has been coming up.

Thak you

Well i was wondering about it away from hardware as i can put one together and mantaine it...i just didnt know exactly what you could do if you had one. Thats what i couldnt find on the web.
 
A server can be used for many things.

Hosting webpages
Hosting chatrooms
Hosting other people's webpages
Becoming your own napster
Hosting a video game server
Hosting your own video game's server.
Hosting a database server with information

so forth, so forth.
 
when you build one, make sure that you get a mobo that can support dual cpu's, my shop's server has dual athlon mp2800's and it works well. be careful about server HD's though, your probably gonna need to get SCSI hd's, if you do get fujitsu's they are the best, (15,000 rpm) but they cost like 400 US or so for 73gb, so watch out. but if you can afford them, they really fly, they so own my seagate B-cuda with NCQ it's not even funny.
