VPS vs Dedicated Servers

Posted by Geetha on July 31st, 2010

VPS(Virtual Private Servers) and Dedicated are two very different environments due to how the process and specs are setup.

The difference between vps and dedicated hosting is that with dedicated you are the only person with files on the server. Wherein, VPS is a virtualization environment where everyone gets root access inside a virtual machine, but there are multiple people with these access on one given physical server. VPS are a little harder to get one’s head around than dedicated servers. They are usually cheaper but their maintenance is still more expensive. You will also have Root/Administrator access with the VPS which is provided with a Dedicated server and as Root/Administration is provided with it, you can install any applications you require on your VPS also. One of the major attractions of a dedicated server is that, it is generally completely under the control of the customer.

Large businesses and those with intensive hosting needs, such as gaming sites, use Dedicated Servers. VPS is used by customers who want to have the same features like a Dedicated server but do not have the usage according to a Dedicated server.

So, If you wish to have features like a Dedicated server but do not require the resources assigned to it, then you can surely consider a VPS hosting. If you are comfortable managing your sites in a VPS as root, then it won’t be any more difficult to manage them on a dedicated server.
