Dedicated Servers vs VPS: When to Upgrade
Both VPS and dedicated servers deliver strong performance, but they serve different scale and compliance needs.
VPS advantages
Cost-effective dedicated resources, fast provisioning, snapshots, and easy vertical scaling. Excellent for growing apps, agencies, and multi-site hosting.
Dedicated server advantages
Entire physical machine with no virtualization overhead. Best for high-traffic ecommerce, large databases, gaming, and workloads needing custom hardware layouts.
Upgrade signals
Consistent resource saturation, strict compliance requirements, or the need for RAID and bare-metal performance are common reasons Capnis customers move to dedicated servers.
