     How does the meaning of these two words differ?  (I???m not a native
     speaker, so I???m curious.)

It is a subtle nuance.

What I understand from "Various Services" is "A group of services which I chose 
arbitrarily".
Wheras "Miscellaneous Services" means to me: "Services which don't fit into any 
of the
hitherto mentioned categories".

Perhaps there is no formal difference, but "various" sounds odd to me in that 
context.
I think that "miscellaneous" is more common in such use cases.
