VPS (Virtual Private Server)
What is VPS?
A (Virtual Private Server) is a virtualized server that operates within a larger physical server but functions like an independent dedicated server. It is commonly used for hosting websites, applications, and other services that require more control and resources than shared hosting but are more affordable than a dedicated server.
Key Features of a VPS:
- 📌 Dedicated Resources – Unlike shared hosting, a VPS has allocated CPU, RAM, and storage.
- 🔑 Root Access – Users get full control over the operating system, allowing custom configurations.
- 📈 Scalability – Can be upgraded easily as resource needs grow.
- 🛡️ Isolation – Each VPS runs its own operating system and is independent of others on the same physical server.
- 💰 Cost-Effective – Offers a balance between performance and affordability.
