What is VPS Web Hosting?

VPS web hosting is a platform built on the virtualization technology that blends and closes the huge gap that is there between the shared hosting and dedicated server hosting.

VPS is an acronym for virtual private server and is created by splitting a powerful physical server into smaller compartments. Each of the virtual servers runs its own operating system and is assigned a dedicated IP.

While you share the server space and resources with other websites, all of you get dedicated resources which mean you will not have any performance slackness even if a neighbor website draws more resources.

Each VPS account is placed in individual containers. This gives you complete privacy and seclusion like on a dedicated server. The servers are placed in highly resilient data centers under the highest security. Only people authorized by you are given access to your applications.

Customers on a VPS have complete control. They can customize the server and can install any applications as required by their business. VPS, unlike shared hosting, is not a completely managed VPS service. The users must have the competency to manage and maintain the applications they install.

VPS hosting is an ideal solution for businesses that need more features than what shared hosting platform offers but they do not the dedicated server yet. They are not sure of the traffic and the resources of a dedicated machine can go waste and secondly the dedicated server is expensive. A small business may find it difficult to afford the high costs.
