Security Fundamentals — Question 10

Coho Winery wants to increase their web presence and hires you to set up a new web server. Coho already has servers for their business and would like to avoid purchasing a new one.
Which server is best to use as a web server, considering the security and performance concerns?

Answer options

• A. SQL Server
• B. File Server
• C. Domain Controller
• D. Application Server

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as an Application Server is designed to host web applications and manage client requests efficiently, addressing both security and performance needs. SQL Server (A) is primarily for database management, a File Server (B) is used for storing files, and a Domain Controller (C) manages network access and user authentication, making them unsuitable for hosting a web server.
