Learn About Server Types Different servers do different jobs, from serving e-mail and video to protecting internal networks and hosting Web sites. Learn about the many types of servers used today. This list, courtesy of ServerWatch.com, categorizes the many different types of servers used in the marketplace today. -
Proxy Servers: Proxy servers sit between a client program (typically a Web browser) and an external server (typically another server on the Web) to filter requests, improve performance, and share connections. -
Mail Servers: Almost as ubiquitous and crucial as Web servers, mail servers move and store mail over corporate networks (via LANs and WANs) and across the Internet. -
Server Platforms: A term often used synonymously with operating system, a platform is the underlying hardware or software for a system and is thus the engine that drives the server. Read more about the many different types of servers in this Quick Reference article.

What is 250 GB?
In data storage the phrase 250 GB is used to refer to the amount of data a storage medium can hold. For example, you may see storage references of a 250 GB hard drive. In this instance 250 GB refers to the amount of programs, software and data that the hard drive will hold. The phrase 250 GB is also a common phrase used by ISPs (Internet Service Providers) in reference to Internet data transfer capacity limits (or caps). High-speed Internet access may be provided as an "unlimited" usage account where you can use the Internet and upload and download as much as you want -- hence the slang phrase "always on" that is used to describe high-speed cable or DSL Internet access. Learn more about 250 GB storage and ISP data transfer limits in this Webopedia article.
