origin server

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

origin server

A Web server that contains the original Web page. The term is used to identify the Web server from the cache server. Since there is no physical difference between a digital original and a digital copy, the term implies that the origin server is the one that is maintained and updated by the enterprise. See Web cache.
