I am setting up my first webserver and would like some advice. I have a windows server 2016 license which I can use but what would be the best way to set this up. I keep being told virtualisation is the way to go does that mean I have one OS and the servers span off this?

If so do I use my server 2016 as the main os then virtualise off that with ubuntu server? any guidance would be great
 
Different solutions work for different uses.

Unless you're expecting the traffic to ramp up quickly or hosting an already-popular website then I wouldn't worry about the OS initially. Get yourself acquainted with how it all works by experimenting and then you'll have a much better background to judge what other people are saying.
