What is a Virtual Private Server?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS), also known as
Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), is a virtual
server that appears to the user as a dedicated
server, but is actually installed on a computer
serving multiple websites. A single computer can
have several VPSs, each one with its own
operating system (OS) that runs the hosting
software for a particular user. The
hosting software for each VPS can include a Web
server program, a File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
program, a mail server program and specialized
applications for activities such as e-commerce
and blogging.

How does VPS work?
The mechanism behind working of a VPS hosting
works is very simple. The Virtual Private Server
(VPS) is considered as a section off space which
is present on the actual server. Virtual Private
Servers (VPS) is a technology that permits you to
share the server costs with all other users, and
still gives you the total command over your
applications. Virtual Private Servers works as
isolated processes within a Web Server, and
provide complete root access in privacy along
with the ability for guaranteed bandwidth, disk
space and CPU. In a VPS hosting situation, the
actual host company will split their own server
and offer services to other clients here clients
can be more than one in number. In order to make
a secure VPS host, the provider simply creates
partitions inside the server which gives the
customers of the company an access to his
portions of the server only. While at the
customers end, virtual private servers of the
program appears to be the dedicated servers.

Those who use the service cannot see the past
virtual partitions in order to access other
customers services. Also, all websites are
stored on the server and are seen as being on the
same host, yet they are completely separated and
different from one another. VPS servers provide
you with the highest level of security which is
exactly like a dedicated server, complete with
customizable firewall protection and it also
secures isolated disk space.
