What is VPS hosting?
So, you are thinking about hosting or buying a VPS. But, is a VPS also right for you? This page will help you with everything you want to know about virtual infrastructure.
Shared hosting
Shared hosting is the most common way of hosting. It’s easy and uncomplicated to use if you host a ‘simple’ website. With shared hosting, you share important resources such as CPU and RAM with others. So, to make it even easier: there is 1 big server and several people ‘rent’ a part of the server.

Dedicated hosting
With dedicated hosting, you get it all: a server dedicated to you. However, this is way more expensive than shared hosting is. But on the other side: you are in charge of all resources and you can customize everything in a way you prefer. For example: you can install your own operating system and can handle thousands of transactions per day.

VPS hosting
VPS hosting is in between shared hosting and dedicated hosting. This means that other websites will be on the same server, but your website will be the only domain allocated to your virtual compartment. With this type of hosting you still get dedicated storage, can use your own operating system and can enjoy powerful CPU, RAM and unlimited traffic (based on fair use policy most of the time).
