[DiogoSaraiva]

I don't know if that title is appropriate for this.
But here I go:



Internet / Websites

Apache
Nginx


E-Mail

Postfix
Dovecot
Courier
(Squirrel Mail)


VPN (Virtual Private Network)

OpenVPN


VoIP

Asterisk
(FreePBX)
(Elastix)


Game Servers

(Please don't describe them, there are so much ;) )




Some ones very old:



Hotline (P2P)
BBS (Bulletin Board System)

And?

Perhaps the most powerful server there is - ssh. http://blog.jdpfu.com/2014/09/23/you-don-t-know-ssh-about-ssh

There are thousands of different server types. /etc/services lists only the well-know ports for them.
finger, ident, ssh, sftp, scp, rsh, ftp, tftp, imap, pop3, zimbra (really postfix, lmtp, and IMAP/POP3 and java glue), exim, sendmail, sogo, bind (must be 5 other DNS options), X/Windows, xdmp, irc, smtp, lmtp, ntp, NIS, NIX+, LDAP, rsync, radius, mysql, mariadb, postgresql, ingress, db2, oracle, IMS, RabbitMQ, clementine, xmms2, .... DLNA (plex, kodi, miniDLNA, others).

What do you mean "know?" ---- I can list hundreds, and have deployed perhaps 100 different types of servers. Wouldn't claim to "know" any that I didn't write myself. For example, many webapps are servers for REST interfaces. Almost every popular web-app has that interface - a REST interface with XML or JSON is pretty easy to make these days thanks to web-frameworks.

VoIP - the current list are really just Asterisk, packaged by different orgs. FreeSwitch is a different animal designed for VoIP service providers, not usually deployed by home users.
