Virtual Private Server

A VPS is a Virtual Private Server. It is a private server which is exclusively yours to use, and can be installed with any operating system of your choice. A VPS service provides you with a carved out amount of resources that are dedicated to you (and not shared with anyone else). A VPS gives you more resources and flexibility compared to shared hosting.

When you opt for VPS Hosting you do not share the resources, like CPU power, disk space and RAM, with other websites. This automatically means your website speed is faster and better as compared to those using Shared servers.

The primary difference between a VPS and a Shared Hosting plan is that a VPS has resources that are allocated specifically for your account. While a Shared account shares all the server resources with other users.

A VPS is a virtual machine created from a physical server. A dedicated server is a physical machine without a virtualisation layer. The advantage of a VPS is that the virtual resources can easily be scaled to suit your project’s needs — and this is beneficial in terms of both cost and flexibility.
