What is VPS Hosting?

February 29, 2008

VPS web hosting or Virtual Private Server web hosting has become one of the most popular alternatives to dedicated server hosting on the market today. But if you have never heard of VPS web hosting, you’re likely to just skip over this extremely effective type of web hosting plan!

So what is VPS web hosting? Simply put, Virtual Private Servers do the same thing shared web hosting servers do – they split up the server space to provide many websites with access to web hosting. However, there’s one major difference; while shared web hosting can incorporate as many as 500 customers on one single server, the best VPS web hosting provider will only put 20 websites at most on one server. This allows you to have better CPU and processor performance, and you can also have SSH web hosting access to the server, whereas with Shared web hosting, any reliable web host will not provide this, as it is a danger to your website.

VPS web hosting can really mean the difference between your large website running slowly or your website being optimized for success. If your website has large bandwidth needs, CPU or RAM resources, you’re going to be better off with a VPS or Dedicated Server Hosting plan, because these types of web hosting plans will be best for your needs.
