Virtual Private Server (VPS)
A dedicated hosting plan where your website is the only website hosted on a private virtual machine.
This Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting plan allows you to host multiple websites (storefront, e-commerce, content, media) and software applications (primarily web portal, extranet, collaborative solutions, wiki, CRM) with ease.
Unlike shared web hosting, VPS hosting makes it possible to isolate multiple applications from one another within the same container. While this VPS container shares physical resources (infrastructure) with other containers, its resources are dedicated to only you.
Dedicated Server or Virtual Private Server (VPS)?
If you’re outgrowing shared web hosting or simply require more control to manage your website or online digital product, a managed Virtual Private Server (VPS) is the next logical choice for your hosting needs.
What is a Dedicated Hosting Server?
A dedicated hosting server provides hosting service to just your business. Only your business applications (web or apps) are hosted on the server. NO other customer shares the server resources, bandwidth or disk space with your applications.
What is a Virtual Private Server?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine (VM) sold as a service. A VPS runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and customers are provided superuser-level access to the OS instance. Customers can install almost any software that can run on the OS. Like dedicated hosting, all resources on the server is reserved for the single customer's website or digital products. VPS is a more affordable option to owning a dedicated server and is software based rather than dedicated hardware.
Shared Hosting Vs Virtual Private Server
If shared web hosting is like an Apartment complex, Virtual Private Server (VPS) is more like a Town-home unit. You’ll enjoy upgraded resources AND you’ll be sharing them with just the websites you add on your server. This gives you more power, flexibility and control. It costs a little more than shared web hosting but, much less than a Dedicated hosting server. This service is meant for popular, resource-intensive websites that need advanced power, flexibility and control on a budget.
