VPS & Linux
What's the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server, and do you sell dedicated servers?
A VPS and a dedicated server both give you a full machine to run whatever you like, but they differ in how the hardware is shared. Understanding the trade-off helps you pick the right one — and in most cases a VPS is the sweet spot.
VPS vs dedicated server
The core difference is whether you're sharing the physical hardware.
- VPS: a KVM virtual machine with guaranteed resources and full root — an isolated virtual slice of a physical machine. Great value and ideal for most self-managed needs.
- Dedicated server: an entire physical box for you alone, offering maximum performance and isolation at a higher cost.
- Both are unmanaged: you run the OS and software yourself on either one.
Tip: Choose a VPS for flexibility and cost; choose dedicated when you need a full machine's worth of consistent power and total isolation.
Which should you choose?
Match the product to how demanding and consistent your workload is.
- Most projects run comfortably on a VPS with guaranteed resources.
- Step up to dedicated only when you need an entire physical machine's power and complete isolation.
