A web server is a physical or virtual machine that stores, processes, and serves web pages to users via the internet. It handles requests made by browsers and delivers the requested content (HTML, images, etc.).

Web hosting, on the other hand, is a service that provides the technology and resources (like server space, bandwidth, and databases) to store a website's files and make them accessible on the internet. Web hosting providers use web servers to host the websites they manage.
