Differences in Server Performance and Features
In VPS services, there is not much difference in performance between servers. However, there are differences among providers in terms of the performance and features of the servers you can choose from.
- the number of CPU cores you can choose
- the amount of memory available
- the type and amount of storage space available Network bandwidth included in your plan
- richness of server creation and management functions
- differences in OS and application images
In the VPS service industry, where differences in price plans and server performance are becoming harder to distinguish, differences between providers are becoming differences in the richness of plans, the richness of server creation and management functions, and the OS and application images that allow you to easily set up a server.
Differences in Support Systems
VPS, which is a virtual dedicated server, basically assumes that you do all the work yourself, and server support does not provide basic support for "things inside the server".
However, it makes a big difference if you can rely on support when you encounter any problems caused by the provider.
Different VPS providers offer different support systems, such as phone support, chat support, and email support, and it is important to compare the quality and speed of support, as well as the languages and time zones available.
