VPS vs dedicated server: where the line really is
A VPS is a guaranteed slice of a shared machine; a dedicated server is the whole machine. The choice is about isolation, ceiling and budget.
| Feature | VPS | Dedicated server |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | Shared host, reserved slice | Entire physical machine |
| Cost | from ₹630/mo | from ₹1,700/mo |
| Resource ceiling | Up to plan tier | The full box |
| Noisy-neighbour risk | Very low (reserved) | None |
| Scaling | Resize in minutes | Provision a new build |
| Best for | Most apps and growing sites | Heavy, steady, compliance-bound workloads |
Straight answers
Not automatically — a right-sized VPS often matches a lightly-used dedicated box. Dedicated wins when you consistently need the whole machine or strict isolation.
