What happens if I do?

What's the difference between resetting a container or resetting a VPS?

On local machine I have it under its own user, so I can access its files but it cannot access mine. But I'm not a security expert, so I'd love to hear if that's actually solid.

On my $3 VPS, it has root, because that's the whole point (it's my sysadmin). If it blows it up, I wanna say "I'm down $3", but it doesn't even seem to be that since I can just restore it from an backup.
