1. What are windows servers?

Windows servers are normal servers just like Linux servers hosted on VPS or Dedicated Servers. Their backend mechanism is the same the only difference is that it used the Windows operating system. They are used for multiple purposes such as hosting websites, managing networks and providing access to centralized data and applications. There are multiple applications that can be installed and configured on windows servers such as Plesk etc. You can set up Saas (Software as a Service) on a windows server.

It can be used to set up and manage multiple server roles such as DNS, DHCP, Server Manager, network manager, etc. It also includes features such as Remote Desktop Services which allow users to access a remote desktop from anywhere around the world (where the internet is available).

    2. What is Firewall?

    A firewall is a system or software that controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on a set of security rules. It can be used in multiple operating systems and network interfaces.
    In windows, It provides a graphical user interface that helps the user to perform the functions of a firewall such as Whitelist/Blacklist IPs, open/close ports, and manage TCP/UDP ports easily but in Linux, all of the functions of a firewall are implemented using commands through command line interface.

    It can also be configured to work at different levels of the network stack, such as the network, transport, or application layers. Windows comes with a built-in firewall that can be configured and managed through the windows defender security center. In Linux, it can be configured using UFW, IPtables, firewalld, etc.
