[VPS is abbreviated for VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER]

This type of hosting is for those websites that require the ultimate in performance, security and control.

Dedicated Hosting means you have been allotted your own physical server that’s dedicated fully to your business or website.

That’s why you are given full flexibility over how you want to manage your website.

Dedicated hosting is the most expensive plan compared to other hosting plans, and for this reason it is good for a website that has a lot of traffic or more server control is required to manage the traffic.

Since dedicated servers are isolated form of servers, so users get full control over configuration in any way they want without affecting another user or being affected by other clients’ actions.

 

PROS

You should get inclined with it then.
