What's the difference between a Server vs Reserved Server vs VIP server?

I asked a question (which, unfortunately, hasn’t been answered yet):

How to make "neighbor" players always return to the same server?

In my game, players will be able to buy houses on a map with lots of lands. Up to 13 players can then be neighbors. How to make these 13 players always come back to the same server to continue interacting with the same “neighbors”? And, if I buy, for instance, lot 12, how to always have this lot reserved for me in this map? [Mapa] I googled TeleportService but I don’t know how it works. Edit [Mapa] I put the example above to try to clarify what I want. The idea is exactly like populati…

Although TeleportService:ReserveServer explains it technically, I still couldn’t see the difference between a “normal” server, the reserved server and a VIP server.
Could someone clarify me better?

The answer could help me to have a chance to reach my goal.

Normal server is what 90% of players use everyday. Unless your game is paid access, everyone should get to be in a server when they first join your game for free.

VIP servers are exactly the same as normal servers, except you have to pay for VIP servers. (Unless they’re free)

Reserved servers are a bit different. They’re new servers created by an already opened server (vip or normal). Reserved servers have different use cases, but mostly it’s either to force players into updated servers or if your game uses teleport service to teleport players from the lobby to the actual game.

Could I use a reserved server for, for example, keep two players always in the same server in the game?

It really depends on what your game is and how it’s structured, but yes, this could work. There’s probably a better way to do it however.
