Is VPS bare metal?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:40 pm

In a nutshell, a VPS is a virtual private server. It is a server that runs on a virtualized platform, meaning that it is a computer that is not physically present on the company’s premises. The virtualization platform allows the company to have multiple servers running concurrently on a single physical server. This allows companies to scale their computing resources as needed.

PRO TIP: Bare metal servers (also known as single-tenant servers) are physical servers that are dedicated to a single customer. This customer has full control over the server, including the operating system, applications, and data. Bare metal servers offer several advantages over virtual servers, including increased performance, security, and compliance.

The downside to using a VPS is that it is not as secure as a server that is physically located on the company’s premises. Additionally, a VPS is not as fast as a server that is physically located on the company’s premises.
