In the English-speaking community, VPS and VDS concepts are synonymous and mean the same thing — a server running in a virtual environment. The confusion in the terms arose because of the translation into Russian and small differences in the subtleties of these technologies. VPS means a virtual private server. VDS means a virtual dedicated server. In both cases, the user gets the same features: configuring the server as an administrator, installing the operating system, uploading websites and files, and working with databases.
