Most of the server can be categorized into Windows or Linux.

Unless you brought the whole server, you will not able to install programs that need Administrator/root rights. So you have to select the server that support your requirements, that is if you need ASP or ASP.NET go for Windows Servers, if you need PHP and Perl, better go for Linux Servers.

Hi vineet,

flashwebhost is right "Most of the server can be categorized into Windows or Linux."

if you purchase the server you can install the software, both type of server is aviable in the market.

Software Installed and you can manage youself also

if your site require, you can install the software

i think most famous server is Apache with Microsoft IIS (not free) 2nd. but i think there are two other servers

i think apache server free for *nix servers only, and *nix server less cheaper then windows

*nix systems are open source this means that they are free only problem is downloading the huge file 3.5gb
and apache is free for every operating system including windows

[jitender]

yes... apache free for all, and apache inbuild with *nix server and no need to download it again
