VPS or dedicated server: which do I need?
The difference, and when each makes sense.
| VPS | Dedicated server | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A virtual server with guaranteed resources on shared hardware | A whole physical machine for you alone |
| Best for | Websites, apps, small databases, development | Heavy databases, high traffic, virtualisation, strict isolation |
| Scaling | Quick to upgrade | Fixed hardware; custom builds available |
| Price | Lower | Higher |
Most businesses start with a VPS and move to dedicated hardware when they outgrow it. Hosting only websites with cPanel? A web hosting plan may be simpler still.
