After I create a droplet is a web server installed like nginx or apache or do I have to do that?

How can I tell if a web server is already installed - it was a friend who set up the droplet, so I don't know if he also set up a web server.

In most cases you can check if there is anything listening on port 80: 
sudo netstat -plutn | grep 80

Droplets do not come with a webserver installed by default.

you need to choose to set up the web server yourself since it depends on what you want to run on it...

I'm with Nginx if you asked me which one is better...
