VPS Server

A virtual server with dedicated resources and full control for your website

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a slice of a physical server, created through virtualization, with CPU, RAM and disk reserved exclusively for you. Your website runs on those resources, so other projects on the machine cannot slow it down.

01 / About

A VPS is created by splitting one physical server into several independent virtual machines. Each VPS gets its own share of processor power, its own memory (RAM), its own disk space and its own operating system. Technically, you own a small but fully self-contained server.

The most common alternative, shared hosting, puts hundreds of websites on the same server with the same pool of resources. When a neighboring site gets a traffic spike, your site slows down too. On a VPS the resources are fenced off and belong only to you - your neighbors' behavior has no effect on your performance.

A VPS also means full control: you can install any software, run a database such as PostgreSQL with your own settings, and define your own caching and security rules. Shared hosting locks most of this down because the provider has to keep hundreds of customers safe in one environment.

Compared with a dedicated server (an entire physical machine rented by one customer), the difference is scale and price: dedicated hardware is the most powerful and the most expensive option. A VPS is the middle ground - it offers dedicated-style control at a price much closer to shared hosting, which is why it is the default choice for most business websites.

Frequently asked questions

Picture a large building (the physical server) divided into apartments. A VPS is one apartment: you have your own key, your own space, and neighbors cannot enter. Technically, it is an independent virtual server with resources reserved for you alone.
