Today, the speed, security and scalability of websites have become key to online success. Among the many preferred methods of hosting websites are virtual servers. However, it is important to understand the differences between virtual servers (VPS/VDS) and VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server). Here is detailed information on this subject:

What is a Virtual Server?

Virtual servers (VPS) are virtual servers created by virtually dividing the resources of a physical server. These virtual servers are each equipped with independent operating systems and resources. That is, a VPS user shares resources with other users, but this sharing is completely isolated. This allows the user to ensure higher performance and security.

What is a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server)?

VDS provides a completely isolated virtual server environment. This allows a VDS user to utilize all the resources (CPU, RAM, storage, etc.) of the physical server in a dedicated manner. In other words, the VDS user acts as if they are renting an entire physical server. This provides higher performance and scalability.

Differences Between VPS and VDS

Resource Sharing : While resources are shared with other users in VPS, all resources are allocated to the user in VDS.

Performance : VDS can provide higher performance to its user because all server resources are dedicated to it. In VPS, performance fluctuations may occur because resources are shared.
