Which one do you need?
Compare before you buy.
Every comparison on this page uses URLStart’s published plans and prices, shows where the cheaper option wins, and ends with three questions that decide it. No “contact sales to find out”.
Four decisions, answered with numbers.
VPS vs dedicated server
Most askedA slice of a server or the whole machine. Price, cores, scaling, control and deploy time, line by line.
VDS vs VPS
What “dedicated vCPU on single-tenant hardware” actually changes, and when it is worth three times the price.
Tally on Cloud vs Tally on your PC
Same Tally, different place. Access, backups, multi-user and cost — including when the PC is enough.
Colocation vs dedicated server
Own the hardware or rent it. Capital versus monthly cost, hardware risk, and the ten-server line.
All four products on one table.

If you only read one thing.
Under 64 GB and it may change
Cloud VPS. Resize when you know more.
Latency-sensitive, steady load, under 16 vCPU
VDS. Dedicated resources, 99.95% SLA, still fast to get.
One workload bigger than that, or your own hypervisor
Dedicated server. Or colocation if you already own the hardware.
Whatever you pick, the infrastructure is the same.
One Tier IV datacenter in Greater Noida, one DDoS-scrubbed edge, one 10 Gbps core, one support desk. The products differ in tenancy and size — not in where they run.
