If you’ve outgrown shared hosting, the next big decision is:
Should you go with a VPS or a dedicated server?

Both offer more control, power, and flexibility—but they serve different needs.

In this guide, we’ll break down the key differences in performance, cost, features, and typical use cases to help you decide which one is right for your website, app, or business.

🧱 What Is a VPS?

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine created on a physical server using virtualization technology. It acts like a mini-dedicated server, with:

• Dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage

• Full root access

• Isolated environment (not affected by other users)

At PLiKhost, our VPS runs on SSD storage, with scalable resources and optional management.

🖥️ What Is a Dedicated Server?

A Dedicated Server is exactly what it sounds like:
A physical server dedicated entirely to one user or project.

You get:

• All hardware resources to yourself

• Maximum performance and control

• No “neighbors” sharing CPU, memory, or disk I/O

Perfect for high-performance workloads and enterprise infrastructure.

💼 When to Choose VPS Hosting

VPS is perfect if you:

• Are running a growing website or online store

• Need full control over your environment

• Want dedicated resources at a lower price

• Run small-to-medium applications

• Prefer flexible monthly plans with upgrade options

PLiKhost VPS gives you SSD speed, root access, and optional control panels with low monthly cost.

🏢 When to Choose a Dedicated Server

Go for dedicated if you:

• Run enterprise-grade or high-traffic websites

• Need guaranteed hardware performance

• Want to host game servers, heavy applications, or streaming platforms

• Need compliance or custom hardware

• Require large databases or multiple VPS in one box (e.g. for reselling)

PLiKhost offers powerful, customizable dedicated servers—ideal for serious business infrastructure.
