VPS/VDS stands for Virtual Private/Dedicated Server, i.e. virtual personal/dedicated server. This is a virtual machine (VM) that is created inside a physical machine using a hypervisor.
In server rent, VPS/VDS is one of the hosting types when you rent a VM from a provider, which is allocated from the total resources of the host server as hardware or virtually. Through virtualization technologies, the computing power of the host computer is divided into the same or different containers that emulate the operation of the whole machine and do not affect each other.
In terms of access level and functionality, a virtual server is almost indistinguishable from physically dedicated devices (Dedicated Servers), and their price is much lower.
By renting a VPS/VDS, you get the same root rights and the ability to independently select and configure software, delete and modify any files. In some cases, modifications to the operating system kernel and installation of any non-standard modules are also available to you.
VPS server belongs to only one customer, so by purchasing the required number of resources, you can be sure that they will not be used by anyone other than you, even if they are idle.
Renting a VDS gives you complete freedom of action: choosing an OS, installing and configuring software products, creating websites in any quantity, independent administration and access at the superuser level. The cost of the service is much less than DS, while the remote functionality is the same.
VDS/VPS hosting is often purchased for highly loaded projects that “feel cramped” on regular shared hosting: demanding sites, popular mobile and web applications, large online stores, etc. On VDS/VPS, you can deploy and remove environments for development and software testing.

In short, the difference between VDS (virtual dedicated server) and VPS (virtual personal server) is only in the name. Both abbreviations denote a virtual machine created on the basis of a physical one. Nevertheless, hosters in Russia continue to dispute year after year about the meaning of these terms.
In Russia, it is widely believed that VDS hosting means renting a server on KVM, while buying a VPS means renting a VM on OpenVZ technology. That is, the difference is in hypervisor, and, as they say, “made in Russia”. The division is relevant only for Runet and in particular Russia. Therefore, each provider decides how to present the service on their own.
If you see that the hosting company separates VPS and VDS into different categories and sets different prices, most likely it is because of the virtualization method. The hoster is not trying to deceive you in order to make profit, no, it's just more convenient for them. However, make sure to study this issue while choosing a plan in order to provide the necessary conditions for your site.
