If you’re finally ready to get your website up and running, it’s likely that you’re looking into buying web hosting. And it’s a battleground out here for newcomers. There’s a dictionary of new words, like “What is a kernel? “, and acronyms seem to be falling from the sky. VPS hosting is one that you’ll hear a lot about. However, newbies, don’t worry. The guide below will answer every question you have about a Virtual Private Server, what it is used for, Windows VPS, Google VPS Cloud, and pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VPS, or virtual private server, is a type of multi-tenant cloud hosting in which a user can access virtualized server resources over the internet through a cloud or hosting service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each VPS is set up on a physical server that is under the control of the cloud or hosting provider. But even though the VPSs share a hypervisor and the hardware underneath, each VPS runs its own operating system (OS) and applications and saves its own part of the machine’s resources (for memory, computing, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A VPS offers speed, freedom, and control that are somewhere between those of shared hosting with multiple users and single-user dedicated hosting. While it may seem counterintuitive to call a multi-tenant VPS arrangement “private,” especially when single-tenant options are available, the term “VPS” is most commonly used by traditional hosting providers to distinguish it from shared hosting, a hosting model in which all hardware and software resources of a physical machine are shared equally among multiple users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
