VPS stands for “Virtual Private Server,” but before delving into that term, it’s important to understand the basics of
what is known as a “virtual server.” Simply put, a virtual server is just like the server your Web host uses locally,
but it’s located somewhere else.
Data is stored on a virtual server in the form of a virtual machine (VM), and this VM works just like the server you may
have located down the hall. Conceptually, all that has changed with
a VM is its location.
ZERO MAINTENANCE
You no longer have to maintain your server; the owner of the virtual server will be
responsible for that.
MULTIPLE VMSThese virtual servers can be
“carved up” into more than one virtual machine, meaning that you can have multiple VMs on a single server or share your server with the data from other companies.
STABILITY
Unlike shared hosting, the traffic and activities of other VPS
customers will not adversely affect your operation.
PERFORMANCE
Having your own allotment of resources allows you and your
visitors to enjoy faster load times
FLEXIBILITY
You have the freedom to choose the operating system and software
you want to install on the server
