The client-server model is a fundamental architecture used in websites and many other applications. In this model, communication and interaction between devices (computers, smartphones, etc.) are structured in a specific way:
The client refers to the device (such as a computer or a smartphone) used by an individual to access services, information, or resources. In the context of a website, a web browser installed on your device acts as a client. The client sends requests for data or content to a server.
The server is a powerful computer or a system of computers that store and manage data, applications, and resources. It responds to client requests by providing access to specific services or information. In website terms, this is where the website’s files, databases, and applications are hosted.
