Server
There are basically two meanings for this word in the internet vernacular.
1. Hardware: A 'server' can be the word used for the actual piece of hardware (the 'computer') that is running, delivering services to users. (usage: 'Our server has a 4.5 gigabyte hard drive and 64 Megs of RAM')
2. Software: A server is the word used for the piece of software that runs on a particular port, accepting requests from and interacting with remote clients. (usage: 'The real audio server has been a nice addition to cyberstation. Do you have the real audio client yet?')
