  Among the different types of hosting services, VPS is the only service that comes very close to the dedicated hosting service. Because a VPS hosting can allocate resources individually similar to a dedicated hosting but share a single physical server. But in a dedicated hosting, you will have a server for your own and all the resources will be just for your working purpose. Apart from this major difference, there are some parameters which will differ between VPS and dedicated hosting.

  

  There are a lot of hosting types and services available. Even in VPS itself there are types such as managed, unmanaged, offshore vps, etc. So, it is crucial to know what each type can provide. Their level of performance, cost, reliability and the features provided by the hosting provider must be thoroughly looked into before choosing a plan. If we are properly informed about all the parameters of hosting services, then we will not be fooled over the advertisements of the hosting service providers. Therefore, let us understand our requirements properly and get to know about the various types of hosting services in detail before taking up a service for our business.

   

  What Parameters Distinguish VPS And Dedicated Hosting?

   

  Unlike other hosting services, VPS and dedicated share a lot in common. But the differences occur in resource allocation and who has control over them. Therefore, let us understand the parameters based on that.

   

  In terms of performance, dedicated hosting has the top position. No one can beat or underestimate the performance of a dedicated hosting service. But a VPS hosting tries to deliver the same performance and it is quite capable of trying to reach the mark even if could not exactly produce same results. Unless you are a very big enterprise or a conglomerate you will not be needing a dedicated hosting service. Its resources are way too much for an average company. So, with a VPS hosting, you can demand your hosting provider for extra performance, memory or disk space and get the necessary specifications.

   

  The next major difference between the two is cost. Dedicated hosting is highly expensive and it is not suitable for small companies or medium sized firms. It may cost a fortune to hire and maintain a dedicated hosting service. But a VPS is highly affordable by almost all types of companies. Apart from these differences, both VPS and dedicated have the same amount of security unlike other services. They both can give you root access and remote access. But you can only install limited selection of operating systems with VPS and that too if you have unmanaged VPS, you need not worry about that also. These are some of the major differences between VPS and dedicated hosting services.
