VPS hosting is a web site or application hosting service, provided with a Virtual Private Server. A Virtual Private server is basically a
Virtual Machine.
A physical server is put within a facility in a data center, which is located as per the locations of the
VPS hosting service provider company. This physical server, housed in the data center, is partitioned into several Virtual Private Servers. Each of the Virtual Private Servers, so derived, has its own operating system, own disk space and own bandwidth. Every Virtual Private Server is in itself, a complete unit of a hosting server.
Every Virtual Private Server, therefore, works exactly like a
dedicated server hosting, but it does not cost as much, as of a dedicated server. A Virtual Private server can be called as a Dedicated Server, costing only as much as Shared Hosting service.
Every user of a Virtual Private Server has a super user level access to the server. Every VPS can copy its own operating system, it is running on. So, every client of the VPS hosting can have complete control over the server and can install all applications of her/his choice, that may run on that operating system. A VPS can be customized as per the needs of the user.
