A Virtual Private Server (VPS), also referred to as Virtual
Dedicated Server (VDS), provides the features of a dedicated server
for multiple web hosting customers to share. At first instance it
sounds contradictory, how can you have a dedicated server if it is
being shared by multiple users? Isn't that a regular shared or
virtual hosting
environment? It is true that
with a Virtual Private Server you still share system resources
like the CPU and RAM with other users but the resources are
allocated in such a way that you cannot tell that the system has
anyone else on it, much like a dedicated server. So resources
are usually setup in such a way that each hosting client is only
allowed to use an allocated percent, meaning that resources
assigned to you will always available to you.

Advantages of Virtual Private Server (VPS) web hosting
Both online and live support resources are available. Is VPS right for me Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are the choice for advanced Web developers who require root access to the server and want to fully customize their server configuration and run their own software. VPS hosting offers larger amounts of monthly data transfer compared to shared hosting, giving users the ability to run multiple high traffic Web sites on a single server. Because VPS customers do not share software, it offers the same reliability and security as dedicated hosting at a fraction of the cost.

Most hosting customers would rather have complete control of their
server environments. They don't want to be hosted on a server with
tens or hundreds of other users, who could easily use up all the
resources or cause the server environment to be unstable. But at
the same time most websites don't need a dedicated server. The
Virtual Private Server (VPS) alternative is a very attractive niche
hosting solution for a fairly large chunk of web hosting clients
who would like the stability of a dedicated server but on a smaller
scale. With the resources setup in such a way that each
person can only use what is
allocated to them, your site will be more consistent because it
will always have the same amount of access to the CPU, memory,
and bandwidth. Virtual Private Servers are also more secure
since even as you share the memory and CPU time, you are
allocated your own file system. If a website on the server is
hacked, the hackers will only have access to that particular
file system and would not harm the other websites. A VPS is also
much cheaper than a dedicated server.

Disadvantages of Virtual Private Server (VPS) web
hosting
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) give you root access and the power, flexibility, and security of a dedicated hosting solution at a fraction of the cost.

Now that you have read the pros of a VPS you are probably thinking
that this is the best thing since sliced bread. Well, almost - as
is the case with every other type of hosting service, not all
providers setup or define Virtual Private Servers, also known as
Virtual Dedicated Servers, the exact same way. You must make sure
that your provider guarantees that their setup is robust enough to
handle operations at a peak level. A trick
used by many providers in the
reselling and shared space is 'overselling'. What this means is
selling more in terms of services than what physically
available, with the hope that the end users wouldn't use up all
the service that were advertised to them. In the realm of VPS
this can be a bit more serious, since at least the expectation
is that you are operating in a more robust environment and many
clients could be running more intensive applications like
message boards or custom web applications. A shortfall of
resources could end up causing problems for everyone hosted on
such a server, therefore negating the benefits of a VPS. In a
shared or dedicated environment you might be able to access more
resources during peak or spike periods but since the VPS
environment limits you to to your slice of the server resources,
it can be a drawback.

As if the technology rich lingo of regular web hosting wasn't
enough, the VPS services add a few new wrinkles. Apart from storage
space and bandwidth you must also deal with CPU cycles and RAM. So
you will see ads for hosting that might include *** MHz and *** MB
RAM to go with the usual hosting related features. It is somewhat
harder to figure out how much CPU time or RAM you might need, so
seek out a hosting provider that will provide you with some
benchmarks and the ability to upgrade or downgrade the VPS service
if needed.
