Here we are providing some basic information regarding servers.  Various types of servers are listed below:-

Application Servers
Sometimes referred to as a type of middleware, these Application Servers occupy a large chunk of computing territory between database servers and the end users, and they often connect the two. 

Audio/Video Servers
Audio/Video Servers bring multimedia capabilities to Web sites by enabling them to broadcast streaming multimedia contents. 

Chat Servers
Chat servers enable a large number of users to exchange information in an environment similar to Internet newsgroups that offer real-time discussion capabilities. 

Fax Server
A Fax server is an ideal solution for organizations looking to reduce incoming and outgoing telephone resources, but they must fax actual documents. 

FTP Servers
One of the oldest of the Internet services, The FTP or The File Transfer Protocol makes it possible to move one or more files securely between computers which also provides file security and organization as well as transfer control. 

Groupware Server
A Groupware Server is software designed to enable users to collaborate regardless of location to work together in a virtual atmosphere via. The Internet or a Corporate Intranet. 

IRC Server
This is an option for those seeking real-time discussion capabilities. Internet Relay Chat consists of various separate networks (or "nets") of servers that allow users to connect to each other via an IRC network. 

List Servers
List servers offer a way to better manage mailing lists, whether they are interactive discussions open to the public or one-way lists that deliver announcements, newsletters, or advertising. 

Mail Servers
Almost as ubiquitous and crucial as Web servers, Mail Servers move and store mail over corporate networks (via LANs and WANs) and across the Internet. 

Proxy Servers
Proxy Servers sit between a client program (typically a Web browser) and an external server (typically another server on the Web) to filter requests, improve performance, and share connections. 

Web Servers
At its core, a Web Server serves static content to a Web browser by loading a file from a disk and serving it across the network to a user's Web browser. This entire exchange is mediated by the browser and server talking to each other using HTTP.
