VPS
is short for a Virtual
Private Server.
VPS hosting is one of the most popular hosting services
you can choose for your website. It uses virtualization
technology to provide you with dedicated (private)
resources on a server with multiple users.
“Virtual†means that your server
isn’t a separate machine but runs as a virtual set up on
a more powerful server. That “parent†server can have
more virtual machines running.
“Private†means that you get all of
the server resources allocated to you privately. You
don’t share these resources with other customers.
A server is a computer on
which your web host stores the files and databases
needed for your website. Whenever an online visitor
wants to access your website, their browser sends a
request to your server and it transfers the necessary
files through the internet. VPS hosting provides you
with a virtual server that simulates a physical server,
however, in reality, the machine is shared among several
users.
Using virtualization
technology, your hosting provider installs a virtual
layer on top of the operating system (OS) of the server.
This layer divides the server into partitions and allows
each user to install their own OS and software.
Running a VPS lets you set up
your website within a secure container with
guaranteed resources (memory, disk space, CPU cores,
etc.) you don’t have to share with other users. With
VPS hosting, you have the same root-level access as
if you had a dedicated server, but at a much lower
cost.
Overall, VPS is hosting is best solution for user who need unlimited customiaziation and dedicated server.
