 VPS (Virtual Private Servers) is the partitioning of high specification machines into numerous 'virtual' servers through the creation of multiple operating system instances or software that is run on the same physical servers.
A virtual private server essentially uses one root operating system (called a hardware node) which the virtualisation software installs multiple copies of the same operating system 'over the top of it' thereby creating virtual nodes. To maximise efficiency and minimise memory and hard disk usage each virtual node uses the same registry and system files. Each VPS platform is totally independent of all the other VPS systems, and furthermore it is also possible to isolate memory, disk space, and CPU processes for each VPS hosting platform. This gives the majority of the dedicated servers benefits at a far lower price, these benefits include:
- your own secure, separate hosting environment
- full remote control of your server
- host as many sites on your 'server' as you wish with no additional monthly cost
- the ability to install & configure whatever you like on your 'server'
- enhanced control, including server reboots and backups
- high resilience servers that can be upgraded without any service interruption
- full anti-virus protection
- fully managed servers including operating system updates
- speed and reliability gained from a professionally managed datacentre
- reduced environmental impact
With VPS, you get your own secure hosting environment, root access and the ability to install and configure your own programs or applications within your virtual server.
Although there are multiple virtual servers on each machine, other users canot see your VPS or even know that you are there.
