TechSelfHelp's:

"Servers" usually refer to computer hardware system, operating systems, and "web server" applications installed on that computer. "Web Servers" usually refer to the application that serves up websites or streaming media to the internet.

When people talk about windows server, they are actually talking about computer hardware systems, running a windows operating system and with a "web server" application installed to serve web sites to the internet. For the case of windows servers, they are acually refering to the web server "Microsoft's IIS (Internet Information Server)" installed on a computer running a windows operating system.

When people talk about Linux, redhat, UNIX, or apache, server, what they are actually refering to is a UNIX based hardware computer system, with the Redhat Linux operating system installed on that computer, and with a web server application installed called Apache. This is what TechSelfHelp's and most of the internet servers used on the internet today actually rely on. UNIX servers are the most tried and tested server systems in the world. If you have any doubts about why we choose linux systems, read here.
