In order to see the difference between Dedicated Servers Vs VPS, you have to know if what these servers are for.
Dedicated servers are intended for clients who have huge websites which also have high traffics. This server is preferable because of its bandwidth as well as performance. In this set-up, each server run on its separate hardware installation and does not share any resource with other servers. Where a virtual private server or VPS is a method of hosting where multiple servers are running on a single hardware installation. This is achieved with some virtualization software that runs on top of the machines operating system. Other operating systems are then run on top of the virtualization software.
Dedicated Server
More Reliable and stable.
Whole Hardware and the resources are dedicated to you.
server run on its separate hardware installation and does not share any resource with other servers.
Upgrade not required for the long time.
VPS
Not as reliable as dedicated servers (As domains increase and Reliability may take a fall)
Sharing resources with other Customers. This service is good for hosting a more limited number of domains.
Servers on a VPS might be brought down because of a problem on another server, this doesn’t happen with dedicated servers
VPSes run based on shared hardware resources (as like shared web hosting where you also share software resources with everyone, meaning, software crashes caused by other clients will affect you). With a dedicated server all of the hardware resources are dedicated to you.
The difference between vps and dedicated is that with dedicated you are the only person with files and resources user on the server. VPS is having a virtualization environment where everyone gets root access inside a virtual machine. If you are comfortable managing your sites on a VPS as root, then it won't be problem to manage them on a dedicated server.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is an ideal solution for the users who need more power and flexibility than a shared hosting account can offer, but need a low cost alternative to a Dedicated Server.
Hosting of Dedicated server is a better variant for those, who would need reliable, performance, uptime and stable solution for large web projects or applications.
