Benefit of using VPS instead of VMs (11)
I've been reading through some posts and I see people use VPS for creating accounts, and I'm wondering what the benefit is using a VPS compared to a computer with a bunch of VMs setup?
If you use a Windows VPS, it'll be on a fresh IP. A VM would usually be locally installed on your computer, so it will share the same IP as your real computer.
I get that but the VM would be using a proxy.
There is no benefit or drawback IMO. A VPS is just a VM on another server. I rather have the VM on my own computer where I can control the IPs as needed w/ proxies (and not rely on the 1 datacenter IP the VPS gives me) but both could work.
Both would work but with proxies you can't really use all programs like the adwords editor and similar.
Instead of using VPS, you can just buy VPN service and you will use 1 computer with many IP addresses.
The proxies are slow and very often transparent. They can be detected very easily. Proxies are bad idea, if you want to hide something.
VPS is needed in same rare cases, where absolute security is a must. The most advanced fraud detection system don't rely only on cookies or IP addresses, but they can check your device "fingerprints". This is combination of multiple things, but often it includes unique identifier of your hard drive. So when you use VPS, you are 100% sure that you won't be recognized.
In addition, VPS is better than VPN, because the IP address of the VPN is used by hundreds of other people, while the VPS has dedicated IP just for you. Also the VPS Internet speed will be faster than the one of the VPN.
To summarize, VPS is more secure, but VPN is secure enough and easier to use.
What objective are you trying to achieve?
As the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BldrJGDhIME goes, if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.
Seeing which method is better for growing FB ACCTS
If you have employees, VA's, a team, then it's easier to use VPS. All they need are the IP / logins and they can log in easily.
From a "which one is better from a FB perspective", there should be no difference if you are using them properly.
Ahh that makes sense.. Thanks!
