Virtual Vs Dedicated
The most commonly asked question is “Should I buy a dedicated or virtual dedicated server?” and that answer to that will depend on what you need the server to do. Some things to right away think about are that virtual dedicated servers are actually partitioned on a main server which means you don’t have total control of the server and virtual dedicated servers cannot offer the same amount of ram a dedicated server can. Most of the time you will be only able to buy 2gigs of ram with a virtual dedicated server but can go up to 8gigs of ram with a dedicated server. So if your going to need a server that can offer a lot of ram a full dedicated server would be the way to go. The real difference between a virtual and dedicated sever is the amount of raw power the server can produce and the fact that the virtual machine is a partition. Plesk and Cpanel can both run and operate on a dedicated or a virtual machine. Another nice thing about a dedicated server is that it will give you room to grow your website without having to upgrade even so often which in the long run will save you time, the hassle of the move and even money.
