Differences in support and maintenance of a dedicated server compared to a VPS?

Question

System administration

Good afternoon!

For the last couple of years, I have supported several VPS for one portal, but VPS on OVH greatly limits the bandwidth of the ssd disk, io is really less compared to a similar server from contabo. Contabo is generally cool and if only they used it, only they have only a few locations ...

There was a need to slightly expand the resources. increase the hard disk, add ram ...

So I'm thinking on this wave to choose a dedicated server, yet fully dedicated resources.

The project has already been launched, there is concern about the pitfalls in connection with the use of a dedicated server.

Is there any difference in the support and maintenance of a dedicated server compared to a VPS?

Answer 1

Yes, in general, there is not much difference.
Unless you do something and lose access - then you have to ask for IPKVM.
Check the conditions with a specific host.

Answer 2

The main difference is that you also need to monitor the iron. Accordingly, it would be nice to know how to do it.
