What Is a VPS Server? Key Differences from Cloud

1 min read 2 questions answered

VPS = virtual private server

A VPS is a hypervisor slice of a physical host. You get root/admin access—more isolation than shared hosting, less than full dedicated ownership.

Difference from shared

  • Your own OS and services
  • More predictable CPU/RAM slice
  • Ability to install custom software

Difference from cloud

Cloud products usually promise clusters, APIs and fast resize. VPS plans ship as steadier packages with simpler management. Both can run in the same KuzeyDC facility; the contract and automation differ.

  1. Fixed capacity → VPS
  2. Frequent resizing → Cloud
  3. Full physical isolation → Dedicated
