According to this thread, the endpoint is the URL where your service can be accessed by a client application.
But, it sounds to me like a kind of server. In that case, an endpoint will be always an URL? what is the difference between an endpoint and a server?

An endpoint is any device that is physically an end point on a network. Laptops, desktops, mobile phones, tablets, servers, and virtual environments can all be considered endpoints.
A host endpoint resource ( HostEndpoint ) represents one or more real or virtual interfaces attached to a host that is running Calico. It enforces Calico policy on the traffic that is entering or leaving the host's default network namespace through those interfaces.
It's important to note that endpoints and APIs are different. An endpoint is a component of an API, while an API is a set of rules that allow two applications to share resources. Endpoints are the locations of the resources, and the API uses endpoint URLs to retrieve the requested resources.
A web service endpoint is an entity, processor, or resource that can be referenced and to which web services messages can be addressed. Endpoint references convey the information needed to address a web service endpoint. Clients need to know this information before they can access a service.
An endpoint is a URL which allows you to access a (web) service running on a server. A server(program) may actually host multiple such services exposing them through different endpoint.
e.g. To access twitter search API, https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json is the endpoint. But the same server also has another endpoint https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate for authentication. Both the endpoints are hosted on the same server which runs on a machine with domain name twiter.com

server is something who host your side/data or run multiple services, like php, mysql, etc
end point is where something points like we say end point of phpmyadmin, and might be its a end point of some api.
api.example.com/getusers
