What's the difference between 'service' and 'server'?
- by bonefisher
I can imagine that the 'server' can be a machine/host but can be also a program like ftp server, smtp server, etc..
The 'service' on the other hand refers mainly to applications/programms..
Why can then for example the Sql Server cannot be called as Sql Service? It has the same semanthics. Or the other way round: MS Azure service: why it isn't called Azure Server? :)
