Difference between game server and vps [closed]

I see some game hosting sites which h offer price per slot. And if I want to run 1 cs 1.6 server of 32 slots then price is approximately 15$ , and server runs 24/7 on minimum 4gb ram , good CPU speed and 100 Mbps speed or 1gbps

But if I goto buy vps Of same specs , it. Costs above 30$ in my country. Why???

What is the difference in game server and vps?

A Game Server is only the instance of the server you bought. This means it is limited to only running that particular game with the amount of slots you've paid for. The advantage for the hosting company is that those are easily manageable with no additional license fees.

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is an own instance of a whole server system, including an own operating system, where you get full root/admin access.

Server virtualization isn't free. Also they're harder to manage, so extra administration hours are needed to maintain reliability and stability. And you can do whatever you want with it: Install more than one game server, voice server, a webserver,... so the extra stuff you can do with your server may be paid for as well. Usually VPS come with more disk space than regular game servers and server hard disks are pretty expensive.
