What is a VPS Server?

A virtual private server (VPS) is a type of computer server that runs as a virtual machine on a physical server. It is a type of cloud computing.

The VPS is an alternative to the traditional shared and dedicated server, which is used for hosting websites and applications. The VPS allows you to run multiple operating systems on one physical server, which can be more cost-effective than buying separate servers for each operating system.

The VPS also provides you with the flexibility to run multiple applications on the same physical hardware, which can be more cost-effective than buying separate hardware for each application.
