Ultimately, it is used to decrease hardware costs by condensing a failover cluster to a single machine, thus decreasing costs dramatically while providing the same services. Server roles and features are generally designed to operate in isolation. For example, [[Windows Server 2019]] requires a certificate authority<ref>{{Cite web|last=JasonGerend|title=Server Certificate Deployment Overview|url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/core-network-guide/cncg/server-certs/server-certificate-deployment-overview|access-date=2021-09-21|website=docs.microsoft.com|language=en-us}}</ref> and a domain controller to exist on independent servers with independent instances of Windows Server. This is because additional roles and features adds areas of potential failure as well as adding visible security risks (placing a certificate authority on a domain controller poses the potential for root access to the root certificate). This directly motivates demand for virtual private servers in order to retain conflicting server roles and features on a single hosting machine. Also, the advent of virtual machine encrypted networks decreases pass-through risks that might have otherwise discouraged VPS usage as a legitimate hosting server. |

A [[dedicated server]] will meet your requirements, but it will not eat into your budget. The good news is that a VPS can improve the performance of your website. Your site will be safely sectioned off in its own zone, free of traffic from other websites. These elements can make or break your site's ability to give visitors a trustworthy experience. Finally, it is utilized to reduce hardware costs by consolidating a failover cluster into a single server, resulting in considerable cost savings while maintaining the same level of service. The majority of server roles and functionalities are designed to work independently. For example, Windows Server 2019 necessitates the presence of a certificate right and a domain controller on split servers running part of Windows Server instances. |

Roles and features on servers are classically planned to work in separation. This is expected to the fact that adding more roles and features increases the number of potential failure points while also increasing the visibility of security threats that placing a certificate authority on a domain controller poses the potential for root access to the root certificate. This drives demand for virtual private servers, which allow conflicting server responsibilities and functionalities to be maintained on a single hosting machine. In addition, the introduction of virtual machine encrypted networks reduces pass-through hazards that may otherwise deter VPS use as a genuine hosting server. Finally, it is used to reduce hardware costs by consolidating a failover cluster into a single server, resulting in significant cost savings while maintaining the same level of service. |
