VPS hosting is a smart guy that win money to divide a dedicated server in pieces for using as “elegant but false dedicated server ”. Divide a dedicated server bring more riches than the server it selves.
Therefore most VPS reseller saying [encourage that] it is better to get a VPS than a real dedicated servers; since this only in their own interests.
So, if you can pay a dedicated server and you want be the boss of the server; the choose is fast made. If not go for a poor VPS account {sorry, it is false to say a VPS Server; since VPS is only a part of a server}.
Hopes this helps you.
