This is a general question about the operation of a web site on a commercial server. I find I don't understand this.

The web site receives MS Word documents from customers. Each word document takes between 30 secs and two minutes to upload.

What I want to know is : During the time one customer is uploading, is the web site blocked to other customers ? Or is there some sort of buffer that can hold any number of incoming documents ? Do I (owning and programming the application on the web site) have any control over the fielding of the incoming documents ?

I'd be grateful to be pointed to a reference.
