I recently purchased a "dedicated server" as it is called on the hosting site. There were doubts that this is not a dedicated server, but VPS or VDS. How can I be sure that this is a dedicated server?
The operating system is Linux (Debian).

Roughly:
cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep "model name"|head
If it shows a real processor - dedic
if something like QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel6) - qemu-kvm
ovz hardware virtualization ...
while writing, I noticed that the rule does not apply to openvz. superficial googling helped to find such a thing micky.ibh.net/~liske/imvirt.html
I think this is the best option and defines a dozen virtualizations.

Virtual Private Server/Virtual Dedicated Server. Dedicated - dedicated. The difference between VPS and VDS is established by hosting, guided by roughly the same guidelines as mine project administrators, setting the difference between VIP and Premium. As a rule, VDS is cooler than VPS hosting (full access, etc.), but in fact these concepts mean the same thing. It is generally accepted that the difference between VPS and VDS is that in the case of the first, the virtualization tool is already installed on the OS, and in the second, virtualization software is installed first and only then a separate OS is installed on each of the virtual machines. However, some hosts call VDS just VPS with more dedicated hardware resources.
