VPS Virtual Private Servers

Hosting services offer virtual private servers as part of a web hosting package for customers who need more flexibility or security than a shared server will offer. The VPS provides separate web space by partitioning the server to create a private web area. Essentially, this provides a separate server for that web page.

A virtual private server offers the same disk space and bandwidth, and memory and processing power as a shared system. VPS does not diminish its performance such as system slow down when a number of web pages are being accessed.

VPS often allow multiple domains, private name servers and IP’s to be hosted on that one server. VPS usually offer managed and unmanaged accounts and allow customers to choose which will fit their overall plan and budget. A managed account means the customer puts the build and operation of the web pages in the hands of a web specialist. An unmanaged account means the customer will handle the build and operation of the web page.
