I ordered a dedicated server from a hosting company. How can I know if what was delivered was really a dedicated server or just a VPS.
I want to check if the hosting company is telling the truth about what they sold me. I cant ask them directly
is it a dedicated server or a VPS?

by contacting the host company itself.
More information is needed regarding the operating system that your VPS is running. Is it Linux or Windows? I’m only familiar with Linux. So if you want to find out if your Linux server is a VPS or dedicated, you’ll need to connect to the server using SSH via the shell. You can use the Putty tool to connect to your server’s IP using the root account and password:

Then provide the result of the following shell commands:
ps -elf|grep -i ‘xen|vz|vm’
cat /proc/user_beancounters
uname -a
Let me know if you need help with this.
