VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) and VPS (Virtual Private Server) are server services created by virtualizing a physical server and dividing it into multiple independent environments. Compared to shared hosting, they offer significantly better performance, control, and flexibility.
However, these two concepts are often confused. Technically, there are critical differences between them.
A VPS is created by dividing a physical server using virtualization technology. Although users have their own isolated environment, system resources are not fully dedicated.
Shared CPU resources
Possible performance drops during traffic spikes
Cost-effective solution
Suitable for small and medium-scale projects
Best for:
WordPress websites
Small e-commerce projects
Low-traffic applications
A VDS provides dedicated resources within a virtualized environment. CPU cores, RAM, and disk resources are allocated exclusively to the user.
Dedicated CPU cores
Fully isolated RAM and storage
High performance and stability
Suitable for demanding workloads
Best for:
Game servers (FiveM, Minecraft, Rust)
High-traffic websites
Corporate applications
APIs and software services
| Feature | VPS | VDS |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Shared | Dedicated |
| RAM | Shared | Dedicated |
| Performance | Medium | High |
| Stability | Variable | Stable |
| Game Servers | No | Yes |
| Corporate Use | Limited | Yes |
If performance and reliability matter, VPS is only a temporary solution. VDS is the long-term choice.
Game servers require:
Strong single-core CPU performance
Low disk latency
Stable and isolated resources
Shared environments cause lag and instability.
For game hosting, VDS with Ryzen processors and NVMe storage is the correct approach.
Small websites: VPS can be sufficient
Growing traffic: VDS is recommended
SEO-focused websites: Stability is critical, VDS performs better
Search engines do not favor slow or unstable websites.
Common mistakes cost both time and money:
NVMe storage is essential
Ryzen processors offer superior performance
Avoid shared CPU solutions
DDoS protection is mandatory
Short and clear:
Low budget projects: VPS
Stable and reliable performance: VDS
Games, SEO, business growth: VDS
ServerTurk offers high-performance VDS solutions with Ryzen processors, NVMe storage, and advanced DDoS protection.
