A dedicated server is a real physical machine and you have all it's resources at your disposal.
A VPS is a virtual machine sharing the resources of a physical one with at least a few other virtual machines.
For example if you own a server with 64GB of RAM you can have a few separate virtual ones running on top of it, each of them having 2 or 4 or 6GB of RAM and acting as completely different servers.
