Server-side
Encyclopedia
Server-side refers to operations that are performed by the server
in a client–server relationship in computer networking.
Typically, a server is a software program, such as a web server, that runs on a remote server
, reachable from a user's local computer
or workstation
. Operations may be performed server-side because they require access to information or functionality that is not available on the client
, or require typical behaviour that is unreliable when it is done client-side
.
Server-side operations also include processing and storage of data from a client to a server, which can be viewed by a group of clients.
Advantage: This lightens the work of your client.
Examples of server-side processing include the creation & adaptation of a database using MySQL
