WHAT IS VPS HOSTING?

• VPS Hosting is a type of web hosting that uses Virtual Private Servers.
• Although the websites are hosted on the same physical machine, VPS allows each website to be fully independent as if each were on its own separate machine.
• A VPS runs its own copy of an operating system, and
customers have superuser-level access to that operating system instance,
so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS.
• For many purposes they are functionally equivalent to a dedicated physical server,
• They are priced much lower than an equivalent physical server,
but they share the underlying physical hardware with other VPS
other instances on the same hardware node.
