What is the difference between VPS and Dedicated Server?
Please give me some commend or suggestion about it.

Hi!
A VPS or Virtual Private Server is a server that has been divided into multiple servers each of which can run freely of one other. Every individual VPS can be rebooted and or run its own OS and set of applications as well.

A Dedicated server is a server in which only you are the sole owner and operator of the computer. The entire server and its resources are dedicated solely to you.

A VPS is better when you want to increase an entry level approach to operating your own site and when shared hosting resources are no longer enough.

VPS is normally cheaper than a Dedicated server which is why they are quite popular with those that require that flexibility a dedicated server offers, but cannot afford the costs that are associated with it.

Hi!
A Dedicated Server is totally dedicated for you. You share it with no other websites. You have the full hard drive, full use of RAM, full use of the processor. The whole gambit. If you could walk in to the data center where your account is, and look at the actual server, it would be your account only on that server. You have root access.

A VPS is a Virtual Private Server. A VPS simulates having a dedicated server, but you are quiet sharing the server with other websites. You quiet have root access, but the proper hard drive in the server is divided between several websites (clients). The profit of root access is you have better control over your file system.
