Difference between dedicated and VPS Hosting

When we have to make a selection among the servers, we chose according to our requirement.  There are four types of servers are available in the web world, dedicated, virtual, shared and reseller hosting. Dedicated and virtual are the two in which people often get confused. Actually there are bit confusing. The VPS are quite similar to the dedicated server, but have several differences as well.

We can say that the VPS fills the gap between the dedicated server and the shared, as it is the mix up of both. It works by creating virtual partitions on the server which allows each account to have its own server space that too without affecting others who are hosted there. The main benefits of the VPS hosting include increased performance, stability, flexibility, affordability, and access to dedicated resources.

Main differences
The main difference between the two is the dedicated is quite expensive in cost and difficult for everybody to afford. On the other hand, VPS has features of that of dedicated servers, but they come at an affordable price. The VPS server will be an added advantage for those who wants the services like of dedicated server, but unable to afford it.

If you have a big business and you can afford the experience and if your business involves running different hardware and software, then the best option or you will be dedicated servers, Here in this case if you are using VPS server and some sites which generate lot of spam are hosted on it then the speed of the server will become considerably low. But if there are site is small or few small sites to be run simultaneously, then VPS have to be the first choice.

VPS server will be an option for those who want to keep the website running forever, and if you have a dedicated server, you will have no more use for all that processing power, memory and storage once your purpose has been achieved. For static sites, you don't need a VPS or a dedicated server.

Some time Shared hosting and VPS hosting seems to be similar with its same features. Unlike VPS do not allowed to set computing resources like in shared hosting. Another difference between the dedicated and the VPS server is, dedicated hosting and virtual private server have several similar facilities, but in dedicated servers the whole server will be taken on lease.

  1. Hi,

    A Dedicated hosting is used to describe a server environment in which you are given access to a web server that is not being utilized by any other webmaster. VPS (Virtual Private Hosting), while similar, does not give you access to an entire web server, but instead allocates a specific amount of server resources from a web server to your hosting account.
