What is a Virtual Private Server (VPS)?

A Virtual Private Server is a virtual machine that runs on a physical server. Virtual Private Servers allow you to create a private environment that is separate from the public environment.

This allows you to securely access your data and applications without having to share your server with other users or without having to manage multiple servers. You can also use a Virtual Private Server to run a business that requires a high level of security or privacy.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that VPS and VM are two different things. VPS is a virtual private server while VM is a virtual machine. They are not the same thing and should not be confused.

What is a Virtual Machine?

A Virtual Machine is a virtual instance of a computer. You can use a Virtual Machine to run a different operating system or application.

You can also use a Virtual Machine to experiment with different software configurations. You can create a Virtual Machine from a software installation or from an image.
