An OS reside in HDD, SSD, flash drive or CD/DVD. When you boot the computer the kernel is copied to RAM. Now other parts of OS will be loaded to RAM as and when required.
AnswerAssuming you're like the 99% who are using PCs or MACs: An operating system resides on your local computer and it's function is to allow the software to work with the hardware on that machine. A network operating system allows multiple computers to connect to each other, controlling the sharing of devices, files or programs. This resides on a shared computer called a "server".
Obviously many different PDAs have different names for their operating systems. But generally you would call it an embedded operating system, as it is running on an embedded device.
The operating system resides in secondary memory i.e., hard disk.when we boot our computer it is loaded into Primary memory i.e.,RAM and then loaded,this process is called booting
Windows is typically the best system for server hosting. The reason for this is compatibility and better "bang for your buck." Frankly in the corporate world there are cheaper Windows PCs and for that reason it is the widely used operating system which makes sense for the use of a compatible system to host a server.

IIS (Internet Information Services) is a web server software developed by Microsoft and it resides on a Windows operating system. It is used to host and manage websites and web applications.
An operating system is software that resides between user applications and hardware. It's job is to manage hardware resources and allocate them to the user applications through processes such as memory management and process scheduling.
Operating system is obviously resides in computer memory which is hard disk. But the main (booting) files are loaded into ROM by bootstrap loader at the time of start of the computer. Have you ever seen your C drive (or the drive which is for system, program files). This drive is on hard disk ... so OPERATING SYSTEM PLACED MAINLY ON HARD DISK...
