websites that have availed the service of web hosting. Space on a web server can be availed through a

either Windows ManagedVPS plans or through Windows Self-managedVPS plans.Virtual Private
Servers host multiple websites on eachphysical web server (VPS) and are able to offer dedicated
server space, a dedicated IP address, server customization and dedicated server resources to each of
the hosted sites throughVirtualization Technology. In this way, aVPS offers a less expensive alternative
to a Dedicated Server.

is managed by the user, without the involvement of the service provider.

11. A Windows Dedicated Server is different from a WindowsVirtual Private Server in the following ways –
A Dedicated Server hosts (stores and processes) the files of a single website on a single web server,
whereas aVirtual Private Server hosts (stores and processes) the files of multiple websites on a single
web server.
Dedicated Servers do not useVirtualization Technology. On the other hand, aVPS usesVirtualization
Technology and offers server space that has been created virtually.
Dedicated Servers do not have different types based on how these web servers are managed, whereas
aVPS can either be managed by the service provider (ManagedVPS) or can be managed by the user
(Self-managedVPS).
