What is the difference between dedicated servers and virtual dedicated servers?

0

First of all NetSource offers real dedicated hosting – not virtual dedicated hosting. Don’t be fooled by the two terms. If you sign up for a dedicated server through NetSource you will have your own machine. Virtual dedicated hosting usually uses software (Ensim is commonly used) to break a single server into several “Virtual Dedicated Server Layers”. Don’t be fooled because the virtual server’s performance is greatly decreased by combining so many hosting plans into one machine. Next time you see a deal that is too good to be true, ask some questions, and you will usually find out that a company is using a virtual hosting package where multiple customers share one server.
