What is a Virtual Private Server? (VPS)

Sponsor

A virtual private server (VPS, also referred to as Virtual Dedicated Server or VDS) is a method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers such that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted.

The practice of partitioning a single server so that it appears as multiple servers has long been common practice in mainframe computers, but has seen a resurgence lately with the development of virtualization software and technologies for other architectures.

A VPS system is an excellent middle ground for those websites that are too large or popular for a shared web host, but the funds are lacking for a costly dedicated server.  VPS systems can be bought for as little as $20/mo-$80/mo.  Click here to see the VPS Systems that we recommend.
