-ReplicatedStorage
-ServerScriptService
-ServerStorage

What are the functions of these services and how do I use them?

ReplicatedStorage:
Place things like GUIs or LocalScripts in here. These can be accessed by LocalScripts or the client.

ServerScriptService:
Put normal scripts in here to be used by the server.

ServerStorage:
Put models, parts, anything really in here and the server can access them.

@YaYa

But doesn't the Lighting service already do this kind of thing? How is it any different?

Basically you can access them quicker. I did a test to find this out. Loading 10k parts from lightning took about 10s, from storage it was like 7s.

-The difference betwen ServerStorage and Lighting is that the ServerStorage doesn't get replicated to the client - that way, scripts that you only want on the server can't be stolen by people who use 3rd party programs to read out the process memory.

-The ServerScriptStorage does the same, except scripts placed in there do actually run.

-The ReplicatedStorage does the same as ServerStorage but is replicated to the client. Its purpose is to replace the Lighting as a means of storing object, and apparently it's quicker (someone posted above). I haven't tested that myself.
