What is a virtual private server?
A Virtual Private Server is a combination of a
dedicated server and a typical shared hosting account. With a Virtual Private
Server you still share system resources like the CPU and memory with other
users, but the file system is setup so that you can't tell that there are other
people using the serve. In this way, it acts like a dedicated server. The CPU,
memory, and other resources are setup so that every person is only allowed to
use a certain percentage of all resources available. This assures all users of
server resources and it doesn't allow any individual to monopolize the
resources.
Is a virtual private
server right for me?
If you are thinking about a dedicated server or
you feel that shared hosting may not be right for you, then you should certainly
look at a virtual private server. The price for a virtual private server will be
more than shared hosting and less than a dedicated server.
Why is a virtual
private server so much cheaper than a dedicated server?
The reason for the price difference is
that with a dedicated server, there is one person using the resources, and with
a virtual private server, there are several people sharing the resources.
