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 see which fits your workload.
Note: VPS plans aren't sold any more. If you already have a VPS with us, message the team for help.
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: A VPS is about flexibility and cost; dedicated is for when you need a full machine's worth of consistent power and total isolation.
Which fits your workload?
Match the product to how demanding and consistent your workload is.
- If you already have a VPS, most projects run comfortably on its guaranteed resources.
- Dedicated makes sense only when you need an entire physical machine's power and complete isolation.

Is a VPS "less real" than a dedicated server? No — it's a genuine isolated machine with full root, just sharing the underlying hardware.
