Web Server is another name for a "Mainframe" that an ISP runs. It's capacity is probably measured in Zettabytes.

1 Zettabyte = 1,125,899,906,842,620.00 Mbs.

Bandwith is the maximum number of information that can be pulled by the maximum number of people on what that sytem's designed for. That's why when you go to one site it's dead slow, go to another and it fast!

So when you get something interesting on the net, everyone goes for it, the mainframe can't cope and it crashes and goes down. Big News stories as an example can cause a system to go down.

Web server = software on a computer that supplies web pages to other peoples browsers.

Bandwidth = how much data you can move at once.

Low bandwidth = slow webpages for clients.
