What is VPS?

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. A VPS can be likened to a server within a bigger server. Here’s the concept behind VPS: the VPS hosting provider essentially splits a server into several smaller independent servers and rents out these new, smaller servers to different customers. Each of these smaller servers runs exactly like a dedicated server would, utilizing its own private environment, operating system, storage and bandwidth. The only difference that they all share the same hardware with one another.

What are the benefits of VPS?

The best advantage VPS has over a traditional dedicated hosting plan is its dedicated-server-like features at a much more affordable price—usually up to 75% cheaper. Another benefit is isolation: each private VPS is gets a guaranteed amount of the server’s disc space, CPU power, bandwidth, and memory. As a result, a website hosted on a VPS runs in its own isolated environment and will not be affected by other VPS’s on the same server—thus eliminating the risk of downtime, hacks or decreased performance due to other’s mistakes. Finally, each VPS user gets full root access, allowing server customization just like a traditional dedicated server.
