VPS hosts are no stranger to us. With the maturity of virtualization technology and the cost control of enterprises, the market share of VPS hosts continues to increase. And what is the difference between the VM host and the VPS host on the market? here in Nanchang, I will give you a brief introduction:

Difference one: technicality

The VPS host is a virtualization technology based on the software layer, which is precisely the virtualization of the operating system, while the VM host is mainly based on the hardware layer virtualization technology. VM host is built with Vmware Server, because it has been used for a long time, the technology is also quite mature, and the scope of application is also very wide, such as banking and aviation, with very good stability and outstanding performance, which is recommended to the website for understanding; VPS host is used relatively late and entered the market in 2006.

Difference 2: the concept of essence

VPS hosts use virtual server software to establish independent and isolated small servers on physical servers. These small servers (VPS) run and manage the same as an independent host, and can assign independent public network, IP address, Windows operating system or Linux operating system and so on. However, there is no difference between the operation of the VM host and the real physical server, and the space required to install the operating system is the same as that on the independent server. Generally speaking, large capacity will be considered when purchasing a VM host.

Difference 3: comparison of resources

The VPS host can build hundreds of independent operating systems on the server, but the VM host can only virtualize several independent operating systems. The VM host is hardware simulation, and each user's independent hardware and operating system do not affect each other.

Difference 4: cost difference

The cost of a VPS host is low. A server can build many VPS hosts, and the average cost of each independent VPS host is relatively cheap. For operators, a VM host is equivalent to an independent server, and the price is slightly lower than that of an independent server and much higher than that of a VPS host.

In short, VPS is the space provided by the host vendor for you to buy and store the website, while VM is virtual environment software, and the hardware is allocated locally to install a new system. However, both VPS host and VM host are the product of the development of virtualization technology, and what is suitable for users is the most important. In today's virtual host market, VPS hosts have high flexibility and good security. Many host vendors provide backup and recovery functions, and customers have greatly improved their data security.
