VPS Server Hosting

A server is like a computer where your web hosting company stores all the files and databases that make up your website. When someone wants to visit your website on the internet, their web browser sends a request to this server, and the server sends the necessary files over the Internet. VPS hosting, on the other hand, provides you with a virtual server that acts like a real server, even though it's shared by multiple users.

Here's how it works: Your hosting provider uses virtualization technology to create a virtual layer on top of the server's operating system (OS). This layer divides the server into different parts, allowing each user to install their own OS and software.

So, a virtual private server (VPS) is both virtual and private because you have complete control over it. It's like having your own separate space on the server's OS level. Think of it like creating partitions on your own computer to run different operating systems without having to restart.

With a VPS, you can set up your website in a secure container that comes with guaranteed resources like memory, disk space, and CPU cores. You don't have to share these resources with other users. VPS hosting also gives you the same level of access as a dedicated server, but it's much more cost-effective.
