Virtual machine allocated from a physical server with dedicated resources and full administrative rights.
VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual server created through virtualization on a physical server. Each VPS has dedicated CPU, RAM, and disk storage, runs an independent operating system, and the tenant has full administrative rights.
Key differences when comparing quotations: traditional VPS is bound to a single physical server, so if that server fails the service stops. Cloud server runs on a cluster of multiple machines and can switch to another machine, which is why the uptime commitment is typically higher.
Key numbers to read carefully in the VPS price list: number of CPU cores, RAM capacity, disk type (SSD or NVMe), disk capacity, and included bandwidth.
