The differences are that for virtual servers there are some technical limitations associated with the feature of virtualization, the technology of which is used. There are no such restrictions for physical servers. Also, if you use a dedicated server for the store, the entire physical machine will belong to you, and only your projects will use its power.
Virtual server performance is inferior to physical server performance.
These types of servers also vary in cost. VPS / VDS for the store (virtual server) will cost significantly less than the dedicated server for the store (dedicated physical server).

This is due to the fact that you do not have to hire employees to service the technical part of the server, buy equipment, develop and configure the network infrastructure. In the data center, all these nuances are already provided.
For big, large-scale and resource-demanding projects, we recommend that you consider using a physical server. If necessary, some parameters of the physical server can be increased.
Less demanding stores are suitable virtual servers. At the same time, the server capacity, along with other characteristics, varies depending on the plan. In turn, the plan changes in one click without the need for a reboot.
If the project has ceased to require large capacities, the virtual server plan can be reduced while saving on rent.
