A VPS is a Virtual Private Server where you host your websites (blogs, shops, media) and/or web-based applications. Unlike shared hosting all your data is isolated on a separate virtual machine with resources which are dedicated just for this particular machine.

VPS is the best solution for users who need a more powerful solution than shared-hosting but who are not ready to pay for physical private servers. You get more control in comparison to shared hosting without having the technical and physical troubles of managing a server's hardware
