VPS and independent servers are difficult to distinguish. Both websites can be built. So how to distinguish VPS and independent servers?
1. Look at hardware facilities
On a server, VPS requires high configuration machines, so the CPU of VPS is relatively high. Generally speaking 40G is mostly; if it is a rented machine CPU, but the memory and hard disk are relatively low, it is likely to be virtual VPS. VPS has nothing to do with hardware devices, so when you enter the device manager, you can only see a very small number of equipment:
The independent server can see the optical drive, hard disk drive, soft disk, soft drive, keyboard and other information, which are not available by the VPS server.
2. Look at the system process
Because VPS is dependent on its host, no matter what method is set up, there is a process of setting up software in the process of VPS. For example, using VM Running, no matter whether it is on the host or the VM, there will be a VM process.
3. Test software
You can install a test software on the server, such as driving the elves, you can evaluate the hardware facilities of the machine, which is clear at a glance; the VPS server has high requirements for hardware, so it is generally the CPU of the Intel Xenon series 4 cores, but The memory is only a few hundred m.
