Dedicated Servers
A dedicated server
provides the facility of web hosting to serve a specific task, such as hosting
a high-end gaming application, or website. It is also known as dedicated
hosting service or managed hosting service. Dedicated servers offer immense
power and flexibility to clients as they can use the entire server. With a
dedicated server, the server is a computer that is reserved explicitly on a
network for your application or website.
Virtual
Private Server (VPS)
VPS hosting is the most popular hosting service that you
can use for your website. This type of hosting server provides an intermediary
service for businesses that are not ready to opt for a full dedicated server.
In short, VPS hosting is usually used by website owners which have medium-range
of traffic on their website but still don’t require an exclusive dedicated
server.
In VPS hosting, a virtual server acts like a
physical server but in reality, the machine is shared among several users.
Now, let’s
know about the major difference between Dedicated Servers and Virtual Private
Server.
A dedicated server would be equivalent to
possessing an apartment or house. Having owned a house you get certain ownership
like parking or any other facilities and there are no shared resources. Things
are the same with a dedicated server you are accountable for all configuration,
maintenance, and technical setup. With a dedicated server, you have much more
resource availability, though are completely responsible if anything goes
wrong.
For those not required to own a dedicated
server, however, still want a certain amount of dedicated resources, then a VPS
is a good option. It provides the user with a good blend of dedicated resources
as well as a certain level of support if something goes wrong.
