Need to look up this entire list.

There's not a finite list...? The word "web" or "Minecraft" is describing the purpose of the server. It's an adjective.

If you tried to make a list, you'd have to include all video games with online matchmaking. "Call of Duty servers", "Fortnite servers", etc. Its an impossible task.

I think you'd be better off learning more about computer hardware. Once you realize how different kinds of machines work you quickly realize they're all basically the same thing, tailored for specific uses. Software-wise, it's just a matter of what's running on the hardware.

You mean a laptop, which can be turned into a server, is the same as a smart phone ??

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 2 points 18 hours ago

It can be, if software is written to be compatible with both. A ‘server’ is just a computer of some sort running a piece of software at the end of the day.

There is no unified list and there are hundreds of specific types and it is constantly changing
