What Does Home Server Mean?

A home server is a computer that functions in a client-server home network, which is defined by two or more computers that form a local area network within a home. A personal computer can serve as a home server as long as it has sufficient storage space and memory. Often, home servers are used by people who want to learn about networks and servers.
