How is a dedicated server different from a virtual private server (VPS)?

A dedicated server and a virtual private server (VPS) are both types of hosting that offer a higher level of control and resources compared to shared hosting. However, a dedicated server provides a dedicated physical server for the exclusive use of a single client, while a VPS uses virtualization technology — such as KVM — to create multiple "virtual" servers on a single physical server. This means that a VPS may not have the same level of performance and resources as a dedicated server, but it can be a more cost-effective option for businesses or organizations with smaller or less resource-intensive workloads.
