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.
First of all, VPS means Virtual Private Server. The server is an external computer that stores all important data for example of a website. Virtual stands for the virtualization technology which is used for VPS. With this technology, a server is so powerful, that it can have several separate servers on it. Then, last but not least, private means that it’s just your server. You’re not sharing RAM of CPU with others like you do with - for example - 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.

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 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).

Cons: |
VPS offers more flexibility and features than shared hosting does. Furthermore, it’s less expensive than dedicated hosting. Therefore, most people use VPSs to host their website(s).
Besides hosting your own website, you can also get a VPS and build or host websites for others. as long as you have enough resources per website, you can host an unlimited number of domains on a VPS.
With an application server, you can deploy quicker and scale more easily, saving your team time and money. You'll have the freedom you need to get up and running quickly.
Many people go for a separate VPS to test or develop software. By doing so, they can try anything they want, without harming websites or current setups.
