Virtual Private Server (VPS)
A type of hosting where one physical server is divided into multiple isolated virtual servers for clients.
A Virtual Private Server, or VPS, is a virtualised server environment that functions as an independent dedicated server despite running on shared physical hardware. Using virtualisation technology, hosting providers partition a single powerful machine into multiple isolated virtual servers, each with its own operating system, dedicated resources, and complete independence from neighbouring VPS instances. This isolation means your website's performance isn't affected by other users' activities, unlike traditional shared hosting. Each VPS has guaranteed allocations of CPU, RAM, and storage, plus root access that lets you install software, modify configurations, and manage your environment as if you owned the entire server. VPS technology provides an affordable middle ground between shared and dedicated hosting, offering enhanced performance, security, and control without the high cost of renting an entire physical machine. It's perfect for websites experiencing growth, running custom applications, or requiring specific server configurations.
