What is difference between VPS and VPN?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:52 pm

When it comes to virtual private servers (VPS), there’s a lot of confusion out there. So, in this article, we’re going to try and clear things up for you.

First of all, a VPS is a virtual server. This means that it’s a computer that’s been set up and configured to act as a server.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that VPS and VPN are two different things. VPS is a Virtual Private Server while VPN is a Virtual Private Network. They are not interchangeable and should not be confused.

You can use it to run your own website, run a business, or just have some extra computer resources to use.

A VPN, on the other hand, is a technology that helps protect your privacy. When you use a VPN, all of your internet traffic is encrypted, so your identity and location are hidden.

This is great if you’re looking to protect yourself from someone spying on your online activity.
