What Are the Differences Between BMS and Dedicated Host (DeH)?

Both BMS and DeH provide physical servers but they have the following differences:

  • BMS uses the bare metal architecture and does not use the virtualization platform. You need to install virtualization software before creating an ECS on a BMS.
  • DeH uses the virtualization system. After purchasing a DeH, you can use ECS public images to provision ECSs.

For more information, see Table 1.
