Yes, simply smaller in capacity. VPS behaves exactly like a dedicated server
- It appears to have its own processes, users, files and provides full access to root.
- Each has its own IP address, port numbers, tables, filtering rules and routing.
- Each can have its own configuration files for system software and applications.
- They can have their own versions of libraries of the system or modify the existing ones.
- Each can delete, add, modify any file, including files in / root and install their own application software or configure root application software.
- And much more..
