Think of it this way
|
Dedicated = Private House The driveway, garden & garage are all yours. Nobody else can enter your property — ever. |
Shared = Private Apartment Your unit is locked and yours alone — but the elevator & lobby are shared with neighbors. |
|
Either way — your VPS, files and data are 100% isolated and private. |
Which should I choose?
|
Choose Dedicated vCPU if… You run a live production site, e-commerce store, busy database, or any app where performance consistency is critical and downtime costs money. |
|
Choose Shared vCPU if… You need a dev / testing environment, a low-traffic personal site, or you're getting started and want the most cost-effective option. |
