    Given that the most upvoted answer to [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/936197/15498) says the terms are largely interchangable, what *practical* purpose will you achieve by categorizing it as one, the other, both or none? – Damien_The_Unbeliever Jun 01 '22 at 05:51
  • The official title is "IIS Web Server" but these days it's basically the same thing. Why have you tagged [tag:asp.net] and [tag:.net]? – Charlieface Jun 01 '22 at 08:46
  • Actually, IIS is a web server. But we also call asp.net web site as application. So IIS is used to host web application to let client access web site. – Bruce Zhang Jun 02 '22 at 06:30
