1-Web Server Hardware
 |
Companies use a wide variety of computer brands, types, and sizes to host electronic commerce operations. |
|
Some small companies can run Web sites on desktop PCs. Most electronic commerce web sites are operated on computers designed for site hosting. |
2-Server Computers
|
Web server computers have more memory, larger hard disk drives, and faster hard disk drives and processors than the typical desktop or notebook PCs with which you are probably familiar. |
|
Web server computers use multiple processors; very few desktop PCs have more than one processor. Because Web server computers use more capable hardware elements and more of these elements, they are usually much more expensive than workstation PCs. |
