Virtual Private Servers (VPS)
What does VPS stand for?
VPS stands for Virtual Private Server
What is a VPS?
A VPS account is like using a dedicated server. To an end user, a VPS appears as a complete server and as such you have complete control over how to use it. In essence it is a virtual computer, hence the name Virtual Private Server.
How is a VPS different to a dedicated server?
A dedicated server requires a physical machine which costs to lease, run and locate. A VPS has the same benefits of a dedicate server at a fraction of the price.
Do I need a VPS?
If you need power and control, a VPS is for you, otherwise, a hosted site might be more suitable.
