VPS vs Dedicated Server | Performance and Price Revealed

In this video, I go over the differences between VPS vs Dedicated Servers. I show CPU and Download Benchmarks after going over the price differences.

[ChrisTitusTech]

I need to note based on several comments. The cost isn't for the hardware... It is for the dedicated 10 gbs connection. If you chop this down to a 1 gbs connection the price drops from around 2000 to 600. Also, this is for big business and not your average server. You need to have a specific need for that kind of throughput. Most don't need that kind of power.

The advantage of VPS with regards to downtime isn't really related to the uptime agreed in SLA, but rather because of the cheaper cost and more flexible instance sizes, you can afford to rent larger number of smaller VPSes and configure them in high availability setup (e.g. automatic fail over, continuous database replication, cluster storage system, multiple availability zone). Most high availability cluster systems will require that you have an odd number of masters, which means that you'll need to rent at least three machines to have proper HA system. If you absolutely need HA system, but your data throughput is actually fairly modest, VPS is going to be signficantly more cost effective than running dedicated servers.

The smaller instances also means that it's easier to gradually add capacity than with dedicated servers, as you don't have to pay for unused capacity because the smallest dedicated server that your provider has is a 128-core beast.

If you have a high availability setup, the SLA of individual instances becomes much less important. Though you'll need to make sure that your VPS provider allows you to configure anti affinity to ensure that your multiple VPSes are actually going to run on separate hardware.

Dedixaded isn't needed until your domains go over a million hits/day resources wise. Having control on the box is an old way of thinking. Now with VPS, we're way more free & modular to manage our websites... and grossly a 1/10 of the monthly price. My 2 cents.

[RandyandPetraJ]

30 a month? I thought you had the 1 dollar a month Google site per the other video?

the shirt amuses me, I hope the IT guy that replaces me tries it out...

[BenKlassen]

Thanks. Very informative.
One thing I would add is that if you have a virtual server hosting your website, your website-associated email server may be shared with others. That means that if there are a bunch of spammers on your virtual server, your outgoing emails will not get through to your contacts. With a dedicated server, your email reputation is your own.

LOL. For the price Data Packet charges I can buy a server and colocate it at One Wilshire.

you chose a hella expensive dedicated provider... i have dual xeon octocore dedicated boxes.. 32gb ram.. 2x1tb ssd in hardware raid1... 1Gb real dedicated un-shared node.. /29 ipv4 included plus i add a /27 block of ipv4 on them.... 20Tb bandwidth... and i run ESXi on them... i pay $105/mo each.. granted, they aren't the newest.. and your example has a pipe that charlie sheen would be envious of... but for most sites... thats way overkill... mine only host a handful of sites each... each client gets dedicated resources ... and they never come close to saturation.. shop around... deals to be had.. dont bend over for the crooks

[InstaTechHD]

This I can’t deal with, if you’re gonna show us something then get straight to the point because it’s irritating

[ClintonSnow]

Excellent video and very helpful. Please do more videos like this.

VPS can perform like dedi, if is alone on the host. Or might not perform at all if is oversold on crowded host
Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk.

[jorditribo]

Everything was perfect until the $2000

Having dedicated network connection does not necessarily mean that you always have full bandwidth during peak periods. If your dedicated hardware providers or the data center that hosted your dedicated server oversubscribed their uplink connection or their physical network, you can still see drops during peak periods. Even if those parties don't do that, the local internet exchange, tier 1 network provider could be over loaded as well.

Comparison videos 101 - when showing benchmarks between two items/services, show them side by side on the screen. Thanks

I made chrome extension for lock down chrome...
Can you show in your video...
I am asking for how to lock chrome in Ubuntu? in past month but no one is answering me so I made that...(if you have any other option then plz tell)
I know there are tons of extension are present for doing same thing my mine is better....

I’ve just migrated my website from a dedicated server with a hdd to a VPS with SSD and my website is significantly faster so far and i pay a 1/5th of the price i used to pay.

Chris who is your VPS provider, I am looking to switch my VPS provider and I would love to know who you use because Vultr is down more than it's up and I need to have a reliable VPS. Just like you I can't afford to use a dedicated server. The big reason I ask who your VPS provider is because you said they could co-locate your server, this is huge for me and the other question I have is latency if you did a ping to your server what would your ping be. Right now I have 35 ms as my normal ping with my VPS through Vultr which is a huge reason as to why I remain with them even though they are down frequently because when they are up they work wonderful.

Which one would allow me to keep an application running while your computer sleep?

[Ranblv]

even in shared cpu environments on quality providers you can get guaranteed IOPS /cpu/memory in places like Azure. upgrade is also faster on VPS. you just shot down and redeploy. scaling out and up are easy on vps web sites.
