basic Server info on Mac os x

Hi

how do i look at the basic server info through terminal on mac. I have the username and password for a web server and i am assigned to add a new url to the web server, but i have no idea where to start. how do i check what kind of server it is? how do i get the DNS information? most importantly how do i install "vim" editor on unix?

sorry for asking all these trivial questions but i am very new to the game and need to get the job done.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks!
