What are the advantages of a VPS, compared to a dedicated server?

The advantage of a VPS is that you don’t have to worry about hardware management

— so you would not need to monitor the status of the physical server, i.e. temperature, power, etc.

They are adapted to host most types of web projects that are moderately sized.

A dedicated server is recommend if you want to manage the hardware aspects yourself,

build more elaborate architectures, create an infrastructure that includes a private network (vRack),

and deploy other complex solutions that are not web services.

As a general rule, users with a growing volume of web activity either move up to dedicated servers,

or Public Cloud solutions. These services offer more complex, flexible infrastructures that can adapt to

a high level of growth.
