That question doesn't make sense.
But let me say that I run an Azure site, which is a Microsoft-hosted virtual computer. You can choose any flavor you want, and you can change the details. Need 100Gb and a Windows Server 2017 running on two virtual CPU cores? No problem. Need 10Tb and 16 cores? Go to your billing portal, and thirty minutes later, everything's backed up and online with the new stats. And it's a fully functional version of Windows that you can access remotely; you can set up the IIS exactly how you want it, set up any number of FTP or SQL servers you like.
It's about $100 / month, but any dedicated physical server will cost you about 2x or 3x that, and will almost for sure have hardware that's worse that Microsoft's virtual servers, and shitty service as well.
