Spin Servers is constantly innovating and bringing new features to our clients at affordable prices. Alongside these services, we offer hybrid and dedicated servers. But, what is the difference between the two? And what are some practical applications for both?

Hybrid Servers

Providing a middle ground between a vps (virtual private server) and a dedicated server. Hybrid servers are best suited for when you need more resource flexibility without the costs of a full dedicated server. If you are not already using a vps, a hybrid server is great for content management software (Wordpress or Drupal), eCommerce platforms (PrestaShop, Magento, WooCommerce), community sites, and databases.

Hybrid servers scale easily and fast; reducing downtime and remaining cost effective. This makes hybrid servers a great choice for people who are not quite ready for a dedicated server but have outgrown a vps.

Dedicated Servers

When you need complete control and resources for your web applications. Sometimes you may need the entire server environment to store your data or web applications. A dedicated server is a bare metal server, meaning there is no virtualization like a vps.

If you are running websites with large amounts of traffic, trading in stocks or currencies, operating long running applications, then a dedicated server is right for you.
