How do I know if my server is dedicated or VPS?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:59 pm

Dedicated servers are servers that have been specifically set up and configured for a single purpose, such as hosting a website. These servers are typically reserved for larger businesses or organizations that require the extra resources and stability that dedicated servers provide.

VPS (virtual private server) is a type of server that allows you to have a dedicated server on your own computer. This means that you can have the stability and resources of a dedicated server without the extra cost.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure whether your server is dedicated or VPS, we recommend contacting your hosting provider to confirm. A dedicated server is a single physical server that is not shared with any other customers. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual machine that runs on a physical server. VPSes are often used by hosting providers to offer a “semi-dedicated” service, where the customer has more control than with shared hosting, but without the cost of a full dedicated server.

VPS providers typically offer a higher level of service than dedicated server providers, and they also offer a variety of other features, such as shared hosting.

If you are unsure whether your server is dedicated or VPS, you can use a dedicated server or VPS comparison tool to find the best option for your needs.
