https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/vps-or-dedicated-server DigitalOcean only provides VPS’s (Droplets), however, a VPS functions much like a Dedicated Server in many ways. You’re able to choose your OS during deployment and you’ll receive root access which allows you to configure the VPS to your liking. VPS’s are deployed using KVM, which is virtualization, however, the RAM that is allocated to your VPS is dedicated in a sense that no other VPS will be able to use it. You’re able to fully utilize 100%. There’s no burstable RAM (as there would be on an OpenVZ or similar VPS), so the RAM you see is the RAM you’ll receive. CPU Cores are shared, though your Droplet gets it’s own share; whether that’s 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 CPU Cores depends on the Droplet size you choose.

Aren't all Droplets on DigitalOcean VPS? I don't think they have much on them to begin with other than an OS.

I get that it's not one size fits all but couldn't you scale up or down as necessary with DigitalOcean or some similar host?

Could you compare thirty bees to other e-commerce solutions though. Say at install to production?

What are the server resources used compared to other e-commerce options? I'm talking like just installed and then operational.
