Dedicated server X VPS. How to know which one suits a particular situation?

Navigation
1


I have an application in PHP (codeigniter + MySQL) hosted in a shared web environment. Database viewing and writing accesses have increased a lot in recent times and I'm experiencing "Throttling CPU" problems on the part of the hosting server.

I have reached the point that I have to change servers due to the slowness that the site is undergoing. I have around 10 thousand people connected at the same time and from those connected, at least 8 thousand record something in the database.

What to choose between Dedicated and VPS?

I've read so much about them that I've been confused and would like to know in your practice.

A dedicated server or a VPS will provide you with acceptable results, the same difference and that a dedicated server is a physical machine and VPS is a virtual machine.

I consider a VPS to be a better option than a dedicated server in most cases because its computational resources can be expanded. Unlike the dedicated ones who often do not have the availability for this.

The performance of a dedicated and significantly higher than a VPS, and the maintenance price as well.

So, your problem is shared consumption, a VPS will solve your problem because its features are dedicated, not having the problem of shared hosting.

Well, first let me tell you the differences:

Dedicated Server: Dedicated Servers are physical machines, fully dedicated with high performance hardware to accommodate high demands.

VPS: A Fractional Dedicated Server.

Cloud Server: A dedicated Dedicated Server in the cloud, but it stays in a remote storage, other than the VPS it is not in the local HD, often it can be migrated from one dedicated to another without anyone noticing, other than the VPS that only stays in dedicated 1.

VPS and Cloud Server have the advantage of being able to add or remove memory, cpu quickly.

I recommend the cloud server.
