What Are The Key Differentiators Between VPS Hosting And Dedicated Hosting

Virtual Private Servers are those in which the user will have to share the resources with other clients. They get to use a part or slice of the larger server and get some amount of RAM and CPU allocated to them. It is similar to a shared server in terms of utility but the performance delivered is of a much enhanced nature. The user has the power and the control needed to carry out specific tasks independently.

A dedicated server is a hosting system that’s regarded as the best for large and established online enterprises. The user gets access to a whole server and exclusive use of all the resources associated with that server. There are ample amounts of RAM, CPU, bandwidth and disk space available on the dedicated server which means the user can elicit top class performance.

The differences between VPS hosting and dedicated server hosting:

Dedicated servers are regarded as more secure than VPS because in the latter, there are other websites on the main server which may result in data and information getting compromised.

Dedicated servers can be scaled up or down easily because of availability of good amount of resources. This is not possible with VPS hosting.

Dedicated hosting is an expensive affair because of its high availability and scalability. Both are reliable and can be easily managed.
