VPS vs Dedicated Hosting

VPS and dedicated hosting both move beyond ordinary shared hosting, but they differ in resource model, control, cost, and operational responsibility.

VPS

A VPS uses virtualization and can provide root access and more flexible configuration while still running on shared physical infrastructure.

Dedicated

Dedicated hosting assigns a server environment to one customer. It can suit heavier workloads or requirements that justify the added cost and management considerations.

Make the decision from requirements

List the software, traffic pattern, resource needs, management skills, and budget first. Then compare the smallest hosting category that comfortably meets them.
