VPS Hosting

• VPS Hosting derives its name from a particular
  type of web server that is used in this type of
  web hosting. The web server, which hoststhe files
  of websites in VPS Hosting,is known as a Virtual
  Private Server (VPS).
• In VPS Hosting, a VPS hosts multiple sites on a
  single physical web server but is able to offer
  the environment of a dedicated server to each of
  the sites that is stored and processed on a
  Virtual Private Server. This is made possible
  through Virtualization Technology, which
  virtually segments a web server into multiple,
  isolated, independent, private servers that are
  configured to function as independent severs and
  can install their own software and Operating
  System and host websites.
