There is a difference between Windows VPS and Linux VPS.
A Windows VPS is a virtual private server that runs the Windows operating system. Windows VPS allows users to run Windows-based applications and services, such as Internet Information Services (IIS) for hosting websites, Microsoft SQL Server for database management, and Microsoft Exchange for email services. Windows VPS also allows users to remotely access the server using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
A Linux VPS, on the other hand, is a virtual private server that runs a Linux operating system. Linux VPS allows users to run Linux-based applications and services, such as Apache or Nginx for hosting websites, MySQL or PostgreSQL for database management, and Postfix or Dovecot for email services. Linux VPS also allows users to remotely access the server using SSH (Secure Shell).
Both Windows and Linux VPS have their own benefits and drawbacks, depending on the use case, the environment, and the user's preferences. Windows VPS is more suitable for Windows-based applications and services, while Linux VPS is more suitable for open-source and Linux-based applications and services. Linux VPS is also known for being more lightweight and efficient compared to Windows VPS.
