Dedicated and virtual servers have a lot in common, but the key difference is how the physical machine is used.
The key difference
A virtual server is an isolated share of a shared machine, while a dedicated server is the whole machine for you. This shows in performance, cost and the level of control.
How we choose for you
- A virtual server suits medium projects looking for a balance.
- A dedicated server suits large and sensitive workloads.
- We assess the number of visitors and the kind of data before recommending.
- You can move between the two options as the project grows.
