VPS

Definition by Best Host Ratings

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. It is a special web hosting setup. Usually a provider will host several VPS clients on a single physical server. All VPSs on the server share the server CPU and Memory. With a VPS you have root access to your virtual server, that is you can manage it as you wish. The VPS behaves as a dedicated server and provides great flexibility. The only difference with a dedicated server is that you share the physical resources with several or more Virtual Private Servers.
