-
It is need special network operation system.
-
More expensive to configure their hardware and software components.

Four types of Client Server Network
Web Servers likes as high performmance computer system that can host multiples websites. On this server, to install different types of web server softwares such as Apache or Microsoft IIS, which delivers access to hosted several websites on the internet and these servers are linked with internet through higher speed connection that delivers ultra data transmission rates.
