Thread: What is VPS Hosting?

VPS, in other words Virtual Private Server is a service which helps any service provider to transform their single server into multiple virtual servers. By this service any service provider would be able to host a variety of entities but all of that using entirely one server.

VPS hosting is in fact the bridge connecting initial entry level web hosting and its co-location. However the former will offer you services like MySQL/PHP which will come with a specified disk space on a shared server while on the other hand the latter will help you avail and control the system hardware while just renting a connection from the internet along with rack space from the same data center. Now if your purse is restricting your choice of co-location hosting then VPS is the answer for you. It will let you use quality service and that too at a bare minimal rate

Above information will be helpful for who are unknown about VPS.

VPS has their own servers which allows to reboot without affecting physical or virtual servers in the system. The traffic at the physical server can be divided into the virtual servers. This helps to get rid of the issues related to the demand for resources and servers in the system.
But besides advantages, it has disadvantages too which every business entity using this service should know. VPS is much like a dedicated server which requires to actively maintain the server. Another is VPS is still a grade below the dedicated server, as you are required to share hardware with other VPS users hosting on the physical server.

Hello Friends...........

The definition of Virtual Private Server Hosting is a method of partitioning a server such that each partition is allowed to act as a virtual dedicated server. Each VPS runs its own operating system, has its own bandwidth and disk space, and can be individually rebooted.

Thanks

Article from Wikipedia:

A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine provided by an Internet hosting service. Although a VPS runs in software on the same physical computer as other customers' virtual machines, it is in many respects functionally equivalent to a separate physical computer. A VPS is dedicated to the individual customer's needs, has the privacy of a separate physical computer, and can be configured to run server software.

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone else. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to colocation, the server hardware is owned by the provider and in some cases they will provide support for your operating system or applications.
Using a dedicated hosting service offers the benefits of high performance, security, email stability, and control. Due to the relatively high price of dedicated hosting, it is mostly used by websites that receive a large volume of traffic.

On the basis of this article, it can be concluded that the hosting on a dedicated server is faster than on VPS. If you search good dedicated server, I can recommend you a reliable Swiss company swisshosters (google it).

I hope I help you ;)

Hello Nile, VPS hosting is a type of web hosting in which a single server is virtually divided into multiple small server units. It is much more secure than shared servers and provides a mid-way option between shared and dedicated hosting.

Good luck!
