Abstract

Day by day, the number of users are increasing on the internet and the web servers need to cater to the requests constantly, also if compared to the past years this year, due to a global pandemic and lockdown in various countries, the requests on the web have surged exponentially. The complexity of configuring a web server is also increasing as the development continues. In this paper, we propose a Lightron web server, which is highly scalable and can cater many requests at a time. Additionally, to ease users from the configuration of the web server we introduced Graphical User Interface which is beginner friendly.
