A VPS is a virtual private server that virtualizes an entire machine: its own kernel, network card, disk, and graphics adapter. It runs its own operating system and has its own dedicated resources, including CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. Therefore, customers can get dedicated resources and full root access.

Virtual private servers are ideal for building complex projects like resource-intensive websites, web apps, online gaming servers, and WordPress multisite. Unlike web hosting, you don’t share CPU power, RAM, or disk space with other users. You can install your own operating system and set up a perfect server environment tailored to your needs. Renting a Linux VPS grants you even more features and control since it’s an open-source operating system. For these reasons, VPS hosting is an ideal choice for tech-savvy users.
