→Backup Advantages
If a customer needs you to fix something on their dedicated server you have to either know the root password or take the server down and boot from a rescue CD to get in and fix it. You also can't access the customer's files without logging in to their server as root. In a VPS you as host can enter their server at any time without a password. (Keeping the host environment very secure of course.) That allows you to do maintenance without having to look up the person's root password.
== Ease of Setup ==
Setup couldn't be easier as compared to building a dedicated server. All you have to do is type a few command and the new virtual server is ready to go. You can have the customer running while you are still on the phone taking the order. A dedicated box requires setup, installation, and often has to be scheduled. This involves cost and time. VPS is read instantly and easily. Any distro you want with all the latest updates installed. When a customer places an order they want it now. With VPS you can deliver it now.
