What is Dedicated VPS Hosting?

A dedicated VPS hosting server is basically a virtual server which works like a dedicated server for the users but is actually installed on computers that server many websites. One computer may have many virtual private servers and each of these is capable of running its own version of an operating system. For small and medium sizes businesses, VPS hosting is beneficial because they lack the funds and expertise to afford dedicated hosting plans. Moreover, VPS hosting allows users to maintain many virtual servers. So, as a site owner, you are free to use one virtual server for critical production and another virtual server as dummy site for testing updates and changes. Every virtual dedicated server is going to have its OS, allocated bandwidth, disk space, CPU and memory.

When you choose a dedicated virtual server, you will not have to share the resources with other co-users like in a shared environment. This server is meant exclusively for a single organization. You can enjoy administrative privileges and decide what applications you wish to run on this virtual server. So, as a user, you are free to install additional programs and software when you have the requisite licensing rights. You can enjoy customizability and control that you would not have enjoyed in a shared hosting environment. So, in a dedicated virtual environment, you get to control a definite portion of the server and this portion acts like a distinct server. This is useful for businesses which do not have requirements for the full capacity of any server but want the advantages of a dedicated environment.
