It depends on the Qlik Product, 

QlikView has its own webserver but you can use IIS if you want.

Okay, the QlikView has its own webserver.

What are the types of web server?

Thank you,

BR, Pavel

As Maria state, the web server can be the built-in QlikView Web Server (QVWS) or Microsoft IIS. QVWS is installed as a Windows service during a default, complete installation of QlikView Server.  See QlikView online Help entry QlikView Web Server for more details.

Hi @Pajik3909,

if that's your question, QlikView's own web server is based on Microsoft architecture. So, it can be considered as a very very simplified version of IIS, built with just one purpose: delivering the QlikView content.
So, as both @Maria_Halley and @Chip_Matejowsky have mentioned, you have a choice between the simple QlikView Webserver (which is fully supported by Qlik) and the more customisable IIS (we support the integration, but the IIS part will have to be supported by your IT).

Some customers have been able to hack the system and use other web servers (like Apache), but that is completely unsupported and not recommended.

You can also setup any reverse proxy that you'd like (here we have an example based on NGINX), but it's something that will need to integrate with the supported web servers.
