Do not move to the dedicated server if you do not need to.

[bob]

Sounds at present a vps will suffice, you can upgrade to dedicated later if needed.

[rumsfo]

I assume you will need to change web hosting service provider for the VPS and you do not need to have dedicated server.
Stay on the VPS

[Hosting India]

Why are you thinking to move is the main point? VPS is a type of a server which is as good as a dedicated server for small business. Stick to it :)

[Wade]

I agree if your needs are being fullfilled by a VPS then stick to it rather than going for a dedi.

Sometimes that might happen VPS and dedicated server could be on the same price

[AHN-Jay]

A VPS will most likely fit your needs very well. You can also get very powerful VPS systems now adays if needed.

[jeff-ay]

depends on what you want to offer to your client...dedicated you can have full resources

The same with VPS - yopu will get all what you paid for

[Equargal73]

Either would server you well, it would be cheaper just to get a low end dedicated server rather than a high end VPS.

Just remember that if you are not capable of managing your VPS or dedicated server, purchase a managed package.

[charlier]

Lets start by asking what is your requirements, and why do you need them. Just because you have a small business is not answer enough to know which would be the best choice for you.

1.) What are you needing a VPS / Dedicated for? What is it that your trying to do online?
2.) Do you have any size requirements / limitations? Hard drive space, bandwidth, cpu needs?
3.) Budget?

Really you should answer those questions instead of just blindly accepting a answer based on nothing but you being a small business, now what I mean?

[~ServerPoint~]

charlier I believe they are good and right questions in here '
All what you need just to tell us what was your previous solution and according that we will make our own suggestions

[Samuel Dunmore]

Intially go for VPS, later on you can migrate to dedicated acc to requirement.

[David Towler]

Go for VPS first, then upgrade to dedicated one if needed.

[arslan321]

dedicated server is the best option.

[GardnerBulkeley]

Well, it will depend on the size of your site and as well as the number of traffic you get each day. If it's less than 5,000 visitors a day, VPS is the best solution and as time will pass, your website will get more popular and so do the traffic. At that point of time you can think about dedicated server.

[alemcherry]

If you don't have much traffic, a VPS is more than enough.

[rfwilliams777]

Depends on your client needs. If they are pushing your virtual limits, go dedicated.

[john woo]

Dedicated means its privately yours while VPS means its still a shared one but made private for your use.

[HostEase]

That depends. What is the specific requirements of your website,like bandwidth ,traffic,disk space,or pricing and so on?Individually,VPS should be chosen at first,as your website or company grows,webhosting plan can be upgraded to other more suitable plan.

[James-A]

Dedicated server is a Standalone server and Virtual private server (VPS) is a server derived by dividing a Dedicated server into several small servers using some virtualization application. A VPS server offers you with same features that are offered with a Dedicated server. The only difference is the resources allocated to both the servers. A dedicated server will definitely have more resources and a higher price when compared with a VPS server. If you are looking for economical hosting solution with lots of features than you can surely opt for a VPS server. VPS is generally good to start with and later on you can even upgrade to a Dedicated server.

[PlotHost]

Sometimes it's better to have many VPS instead of one big dedicated server.

[dalethomas]

I think you should go for Dedicated Hosting in comparison to VPS one as it has more problems than Dedicated

[HenryWilson]

Better you go with VPS and in the future you can go for Dedicated server

[carolyn]

I would recommend by the VPS hosting service. It provides more control and easy. Your service is the same as a dedicated hosting, but the price is cheaper, much like shared hosting.

[victorcloyd551]

VPS selling is a great thing as well as the dedicated selling. First of all, find a good service provider. Cheap quality providers give slow hosting services. Avoid them!

[ronniesilva751]

Reseller hosting can simply be defined as a hosting account where one can sell web space on someone else's shared server. Please share your views on this.

[jamsen]

One of the major attractions of a dedicated server is that it is generally completely under the control of the customer. Therefore, it can be rebooted when needed and can also be completely customized in terms of the software it runs. Customized software can be very important for a number of reasons, but even if the software is off-the-shelf, not all VPS and shared-web providers give their customers carte blanche to install and run additional software. In fact, most shared hosting providers have limits to what can be installed in terms of resource allocation, and VPS providers may not always give 100% control of their virtual modules to customers. In short, dedicated servers are usually able to run anything that their hardware can handle.

[tavioncurry69]

Why are you now discerning to change to the key point? VPS is a kind of a server which is as decent as a dedicated server for minor business.

Virtual private server (VPS) is a term used by Internet hosting services to refer to a virtual machine.Virtual private servers bridge the gap between shared web hosting services and dedicated hosting services, giving independence from other customers of the VPS service in software terms but at less cost than a physical dedicated server.A growing number of companies offer virtual private server hosting, or virtual dedicated server hosting as an extension for web hosting services. There are several challenges to consider when licensing proprietary software in multi-tenant virtual environments.For some of the software packages commonly used to provide platform virtualization, see comparison of platform virtual machines.

VPS Hosting (https://www.esds.co.in/blog/category/vps-hosting-2/) is almost always less expensive than using Dedicated Hosting for your site since you don't get your own equipment, and because of this, you also usually get fewer resources. When deciding between the two types of hosting, you'll want to consider the type of site you're running along with scalability.

One of the biggest factors in determining if you should opt for VPS Hosting or Dedicated Hosting is what type of resources your site will need. Do you intend to host large media files that will require extensive amounts of storage space and bandwidth? Will your site require a lot of processing power to run scripts and back-end applications? Do you expect to have an enormous amount of visitors that will necessitate a lot of bandwidth even without large media files?

If you've said yes to one or more of those questions, you should probably strongly consider Dedicated Hosting. With Dedicated Hosting, you can set up your hosting server to have the processing power, storage and bandwidth you'll require. Further, you won't have to worry about other sites slowing yours down or poaching from your resources.

It's also important to consider if you will eventually answer yes to those questions. If you have a site that will require major resources in the not too distant future, you may find it best to start out with the type of hosting you'll need rather than trying to migrate your site from a VPS host to a dedicated server. VPS Hosting will often allow you to scale up, but there's a limit to the amount of resources you'll have access to with this type of hosting.

[jerryperes]

VPS is a valuable solution if your website has outgrown your shared hosting plan, which happens with a lot of high-traffic websites.

Dedicated Server (https://easy.gr/en/hosting/dedicated) hosting can be set up and managed, but the key thing is that one website has an entire server to itself. Management of the system, such as ensuring it software updates occur and protecting the server from malware, can be allocated to the hosting provider or the person using the server can do it themselves.

[johnmiller445]

You should now have a good understanding of the various differences between dedicated and VPS hosting. All else being equal, a VPS solution is likely the best bet for all but the largest online endeavors. If money really is no object, however, then there’s nothing wrong with grabbing a dedicated package. In some cases, it may actually be the only sensible option!

[ResellBox.Net]

VPS Can fulfill all your requirements, choosing a type of VPS would be depending the type of technical aspects you are looking. If really are not so specific the the open Virtualization would be fine enough

[marythomas]

Dedicated Server provides you full control to customize software and hardware components. On the other hand, VPS hosting (https://www.serverwala.org/vps-hosting-uk) provides only software customization and control.
When it comes to flexibility, VPS is preferred due to its greater flexibility to optimize its resources at any given time as website needs grow. In storage dedicated server (https://www.serverwala.org/storage-dedicated-server)all the resources are dedicated to you only, you need to pay for all the resources whether you are them 100% or not.

[foxcloud]

Cloud VPS are definitely more reliable than dedicated servers as they are significantly more resistant to physical hardware breakdowns. But the cost of the resource is lower on dedicated servers.

[marythomas]

Dedicated Server: In this, one physical server is offered by hosting company that is dedicated to you only and you are allowed to customize hardware configurations, operating system and other specifications in according to your website requirement and use the machine in the way you want.

VPS Hosting: In VPS (Virtual Private Server) (https://www.serverwala.org/vps-server-india)Hosting, a physical server is shared by many VPS clients that mean you use a machine that is virtually divided into many partitions. And one partition is offered to you as a VPS server and you are given limited disk space and bandwidth that you can expand in future in according to your business needs.

VPS hosting works on a virtual shared server, where you host your website alongside others; dedicated hosting, meanwhile, gives you your own server to work off. Flexible resource limits with the possibility of using other websites' resource on your server.

[jesica]

I prefer VPS for small bussiness. Virtual solutions are competitively priced with lower resource requirements.
