MSPControl manages three separate SharePoint products. They appear as different menu groups, are provisioned by different resource groups, and do not share sites or storage.
| Menu group | Product | Provisioned by |
|---|---|---|
| SharePoint | SharePoint Server, standard edition, hosted on the operator’s infrastructure | SharePoint Server resource group |
| SharePoint Server | SharePoint Server, enterprise edition | SharePoint Enterprise Server resource group |
| SharePoint Online | Microsoft 365 SharePoint, in the customer’s tenant | Microsoft Online Services resource group |
Hosted SharePoint ServerSites, storage usage and storage settings for the standard and enterprise editions.

Which one does this organization have?
Section titled “Which one does this organization have?”The quickest signal is the menu. Beyond that:
- Hosted SharePoint needs no Microsoft tenant. Sites live on the operator’s servers and storage is drawn from a quota in the hosting plan.
- SharePoint Online requires a configured Microsoft tenant and licensed users. Storage is the tenant’s, governed by Microsoft’s licensing rather than a hosting quota.
