Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting FAQ
1. What is a VPS?
"VPS" stands for virtual private server, and effectively means a virtual software instance running within a physical computer server. A virtual private server works like a dedicated physical server but relies on a virtualized software engine often referred to as a "hypervisor" to provide the interface between the physical server and the virtual instance (aka "vps") operating system.
2. Why Do I want a VPS?
By electing to use a "VPS" you are choosing to use a sliver of a physical dedicated server, which generally means lower costs, becuase you are only utilizing a piece of the phsyical capacities of the underlying server. Additionally VPS plans are often portable, providing easy migration from location to location and server to server along with being able to upgrade or downgrade your resources with only a few clicks (rather than having to change out physical server components, etc) as your needs dictate.
