VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a type of hosting where a physical server is divided into multiple virtual servers. Each virtual server has its own operating system, RAM, CPU, and disk space, as if it were a dedicated physical server.
Why choose VPS Hosting?
- Flexibility: Offers more control than shared hosting. You can install your own operating system, install your own software, and have full root access to your server.
- Performance: You get more stable performance as resources are dedicated to your virtual server, unlike shared hosting environments where performance can be affected by other sites.
- Security: In shared hosting environments, security vulnerabilities can affect all sites. In VPS, your virtual environment is isolated, so the security risk is lower.
- Scalability: You can easily increase or decrease your resources as needed. This allows you to scale your resources as your website grows.
How does VPS Hosting work?
A physical server is divided into multiple virtual servers using virtualization technology. Each virtual server acts like a separate computer running its own operating system and independent of other virtual servers.
