In a sense as well, downloading is Much Faster even if you don't optimize your HTML when you publish your web site to the server. And anyone that downloads at all via computer.
In addition to the stated above, 'Not' all servers are used for the same specific purpose. Here are a few examples - Web Server, File Server, Mail Server, DNS Server, and Printing Server. The Operating System for the server/s can be all of the above or specifically for one type of Server and/or many different applications.
Although, some Servers otherwise are 'Shared or General Servers.'

The SSL's are in different strengths (bits - like 128bits - 256bits) and can be renewed on an annual basis. The SSL/S is encryption for your security when you shop or login your information to your account/s.
