A Virtual Private Server (VPS) – is the next logical step up from a shared platform. Its scalability in resources versus cost makes it a viable alternative to dedicated server hosting.
While Virtual Private Servers – offer the same complement of operating systems and software components expected from a dedicated server, they vary from shared in that each virtual private server is isolated from one another, allowing concurrent execution of multiple operating systems – without allowing the execution of one partition to adversely affect the performance of another partition. Instead of allowing the kernel or operating system of a VPS to interface directly with hardware components, virtualization software intercepts requests, queues them, and manages their interpretation.
