What is VPS?

I have never been interested until now. What exactly is VPS? I know its something to do with hosting, but what exactly? An explanation would be great.

I don't knew too. I am interested in this thing, so i searched and founded this:Virtual private server (VPS) is a type of web hosting based on the concept of partitions on mainframes and advanced resource scheduling to divide a computer into many virtually isolated servers. It is a server that runs inside another server. Each VDS acts like a dedicated server but shares the same hardware.I hope this will help you.

It gives you the same features of a dedicated server. Except you won't get as much space and bandwidth.

VPS hosting is cheaper compared to Dedicated Server. But you need to have some technical knowledge to administer your server. If you are owning a website which requires more bandwidth than what a Shared Hosting offers, VPS might be a best choice.

A virtual private server (VPS, also referred to as Virtual Dedicated Server or VDS) is a method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers such that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted.
