Shared and dedicating hosting were the traditional options, but now the relatively new technology of Virtual Private Servers bridges the gap between them, offering an extra choice with high quality hosting that’s flexible enough to adapt to your website’s changing needs.
VPS hosting uses virtual server technology, which is smart enough to put a number of virtual servers on to a single physical server. Each one is separated and can be rebooted independently of the rest. You are also given root access, so although they share adjacent physical space, you have control of yours and they don’t affect each other at all.
Total control of your virtual machine gives you the freedom to make a number of changes in your hosting account and add whatever extra software may suit your needs. This flexibility means that VPS is better suited to more experienced users, who have the confidence and experience to manage and develop websites themselves.
