Windows VPS hosting also comes with the above features. The only major difference between VPS hosting and dedicated hosting is that in VPS a physical server is partitioned into smaller virtual servers. The resources are shared among the clients but each of them gets an individual IP address like in a dedicated server. Since the resources are shared among various users it works out to be more affordable than a dedicated server.
