Dedicated Servers vs Virtual Dedicated Server Hosting

So, you want to know the major difference between a dedicated server and a virtual dedicated server? Let me tell you the difference right now, believe me, it's not very complicated.

Updated June 23, 2017 8:01 PM

The major difference between a dedicated server and a virtual dedicated server is mainly price vs control.

Let me explain.

1 - Virtual Dedicated Server or VDS

A Virtual Dedicated Server or VDS, also referred to as virtual private server or VPS, is a method by which a single dedicated server is split into multiple servers or virtual servers.

The good news is...

Each virtual dedicated server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each virtual server can be independently rebooted.

You didn't think this was possible?

Well it is...

With the development of virtualization software it is very possible.

There's more good news...

Because a single dedicated server is being split into multiple virtual dedicated servers, getting a virtual dedicated server is much cheaper and more cost effective than getting a dedicated server

2 - Dedicated Servers or Dedicated Hosting Service

A dedicated server goes by many names, some call it managed hosting service, others call it dedicated hosting service.

When you get dedicated server, compared to the virtual server, you are leasing the entire server and it is not shared with anyone.

Dedicated hosting service is a lot more flexible and shared hosting.

When you have your own dedicated server, you have total control over that server, the controls which operating system is installed on it and you can select the com of hardware that you want.
