The operating system determines what kind of scripts can be run on the server, what databases are supported and so on. There are three major operating system types used on servers:
* Linux. Allows for running scripts written in PHP, Perl, Python and other Unix-originated languages. Usually supports MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
* Windows. Allows for running ASP scripts and utilizing .NET and other Microsoft technologies. Supports Microsoft SQL Server database.
* Unix, such as Solaris or FreeBSD. Usually has similar capabilities to Linux.
