A company that manages application servers in a centrally controlled location is known as an Application Service Provider (ASP). They provide access to applications and services over the internet or a private network, rather than hosting them on the customer's site. Option B, outsourcer, is a more general term that refers to any company that provides services or tasks that were previously done in-house. Option C, web service, refers to a method of communication between different software applications. Option D, application leaser, is not a commonly used term in the industry.
