What is meant by VPS server?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:28 pm

Virtual Private Server (VPS) servers are servers that are rented by the hour, day, or month. They are very similar to standard servers, but they are configured to run as a virtual machine on a dedicated server.

PRO TIP: A VPS server is a Virtual Private Server. This is a type of server that is partitioned into multiple virtual servers, each of which can run its own operating system and applications. A VPS server is typically more expensive than a shared server, but it offers more privacy and flexibility.

This means that you can use the same software and hardware on a VPS as you would on a dedicated server, but the VPS will be rented by the hour, day, or month. VPS servers are popular for small businesses and individuals who need a dedicated server without the commitment of a full server.
