VDS vs VPS

Need More Consistent Performance Than a Standard VPS?

A standard VPS is a great choice for general hosting, development and lightweight workloads. A VDS is designed for customers who want dedicated CPU resources and more predictable performance for production websites, applications, APIs, game servers, databases and business-critical services.

With VDS hosting, you still get the benefits of virtualisation and monthly billing, but with a stronger resource profile for heavier workloads.
