Is a VPS as Good as a Dedicated Server?

Choosing the right hosting platform will play a significant role in the performance of your site and ultimately affect the productivity. If your business has fluctuating traffic and is still in a developing stage, you must prefer the VPS server. However, if you have constant high-traffic and require high-end resources, choose the more reliable and powerful dedicated server.

Virtual servers are split portions of a dedicated server with the primary difference being the cost. VPS is far lower in cost which works as a feasible choice for the small and medium businesses. In VPS, you share the server with other businesses while a dedicated server is completely yours. Feature-wise, both VPS and dedicated server are almost similar though the quantity of resources is lower on a VPS as it is split among multiple users.

Both give you root access, allow you to install your own software applications though in VPS you must adhere to the host’s terms of policy regarding the restrictions. In dedicated servers, you have the option of choosing the hardware you prefer. You have the same privacy and security in both the servers.

Start with a VPS and upgrade to the dedicated server once your website generates constant high traffic.
