What's VPS?

[wordpar]

VPS runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS.

VPS(Virtual Private Server) is a virtual machine sold by a hosting service. VPS runs its own operating system. VPS is technically both shared hosting and dedicated hosting. The customers can install any software for the operating system. VPS is equivalent to a dedicated server. VPS can be easily configured. VPS cost is less compared to an equivalent physical server. VPS can share their physical hardware with other VPS, performance may be weak but it depends on the workload of other virtual machines.

A VPS runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS. For many purposes they are functionally equivalent to a dedicated physical server, and being software-defined, are able to be much more easily created and configured. They are priced much lower than an equivalent physical server. However, as they share the underlying physical hardware with other VPSes, performance may be lower, depending on the workload of any other executing virtual machines.

A VPS—or virtual private server—is a virtual machine that provides virtualized server resources on a physical server that is shared with other users.
