What are the different types of web applications in SharePoint? What are the possible ways to create each of them? Are there any common predefined PowerShell scripts for each of them or each one of them are way different? Does these scripts differ from one environment to other?

Before you can create a site collection, you must first create a Web application. Each web application is represented by a different IIS web site with a unique or shared application pool.
