What is Virtual Private Server Hosting (VPS)?
VPS or Virtual Private Server is a new web hosting service, hosted in dedicated server with a ‘partition’. VPS hosting runs with virtualized operating system by partitioning a dedicated server’s resources. Although your website are hosted in shared hosting environment, VPS enables websites to have all the capabilities of being on their own separate machine, and not affected by other users on the same server.
How does VPS Hosting differ from Dedicated Server Hosting and Shared Hosting?
Dedicated Server Hosting gives you all the resources of an entire server. While for VPS, it shares the resources from a server but remain isolated with virtual partitioning. Users are granted own section of a partitioned dedicated server with guaranteed specs such as storage, bandwidth and memory. For shared hosting, server resources are shared with other websites which can affect your hosting experience when one of the websites experience traffic surge.
Will speed and storage of VPS hosting be affected by other websites hosted on the same server?
No. Unlike Shared Hosting, where multiple websites share the same available resources with all other websites hosted on the server, VPS hosting uses virtual partitioning technology that gives you your own dedicated resources such as storage, memory and bandwidth. Your site will not be affected by other users/websites hosted on the same server.
