What are VPS and dedicated servers?

A virtual private server (VPS) is a type of server that allows for more flexibility and control than a traditional server. A VPS is a single physical server that is divided into multiple “virtual” servers.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that VPS and dedicated servers can be very powerful tools, and they can be used to cause serious harm to a computer system. If you are not familiar with how to use these tools, or if you are not sure of their purpose, please do not attempt to use them. Doing so could result in permanent damage to your system, or the loss of important data.

This means that each user can have their own virtual server, and the server can be scaled up or down as needed.

A dedicated server is a type of VPS that is dedicated to a single customer. This means that the server is not available for other customers, and the customer has full control and responsibility for the server.

Dedicated servers are typically more expensive than VPSes, but they offer more flexibility and security.
