Web server

What is it?

A Web Server is:

  • Software or hardware designed to host websites and deliver content over the internet or internal networks (intranets).
  • An intermediary between users and web content, receiving requests from browsers and responding with web pages, images, videos, or dynamic content.

Key functions of a web server include:

  • Content delivery, whether static (HTML, CSS, images) or dynamic (database queries, APIs).
  • Execution of web applications, handling complex requests and providing fast responses.
  • Security and performance management, ensuring a reliable and smooth user experience.

The main objective of a web server is to:

  • Ensure availability and performance, keeping websites and applications accessible and fast.
  • Provide security, protecting against attacks such as DDoS or SQL injections.
  • Adapt to growth, supporting evolving business requirements.

Why filter companies by their usage?

Segmenting by web server usage allows you to:

  • Support advanced companies in optimising and scaling their infrastructure.
  • Guide companies without robust web servers towards more modern and reliable solutions that strengthen their digital presence.

Companies that do use them

These companies already manage web servers and are likely interested in:

  • Performance optimisation for critical applications or high-traffic websites.
  • Scalability services to support infrastructure growth.
  • Advanced security, such as DDoS protection or firewall implementation.

Your sales team could offer:

  • Load balancer configuration to distribute traffic efficiently.
  • Server optimisation to improve response times and handle traffic spikes.
  • CDN integration to accelerate global content delivery.

Companies that do not use them

These companies may:

  • Rely on shared hosting, limiting customisation and scalability.
  • Lack a dedicated server, reducing their ability to manage traffic and ensure reliability.

This can result in:

  • Performance issues, including slow load times and user drop-off.
  • Security limitations, with greater exposure to attacks.

Your sales team could offer:

  • Initial web server setup using technologies such as Apache, Nginx, or LiteSpeed.
  • Managed services to monitor and maintain infrastructure.
  • Migration from shared hosting to dedicated or cloud-based solutions.
