Virtual Private Server hosting, aka VPS hosating, is a website hosting environment that allows for resources such as RAM and CPU to be dedicated to your account. This is achieved by virtualizing a Dedicated server and splitting the resources amongst the users on that server.
1. It offers you the same setup as a dedicated server, however, at the fraction of the cost of a dedicated server.
2. You do not share your operating system with anyone else. Even though your virtual environment might be on a shared server, it is exclusively for your website and other web-hosting solutions.
3. You have your own instances of all the server applications such as MySQL, PHP, and Apache. If you need anything customised, you can make the changes and it will only affect your instances of the applications.
4. You have full root access to your server’s base operating system and virtual environments. This allows you to install custom applications that would normally require administrative access before you can install them.
5. All the Virtual Machines are installed using the latest software and they are expertly configured by competent technicians.
6. Web-hosting companies who offer VPS hosting packages also offer top support by experienced and dedicated engineers.
