VPS stands of virtual private server. This plan arises because there is a need for businesses on shared hosting plans to use more resources. Usually, a shared environment is less stable because the same server hosts several hundreds sites. This means there is a competition for server resources. The more sites hosted on the server, the poorer the performance.

The next logical step would be to sign up for a dedicated server solution (more on this later). However, it costs ten times as much to rent a dedicated server, and in many cases, it is true that having a dedicated system is an overkill. The problem is, there is no "in-between" solution to choose from.

The VPS solution is meant to fill this gap. It allows the customer to host his site in a shared environment, but the resources are of the server are dedicated to just his account. That means the site still sits on the same server, but the performance is no longer affected by the other sites. This solution is known as VPS. Of course, you can expect VPS plans to be cheaper than dedicated servers.

VPS provides features similar to that of dedicated server but it is like shared service on a dedicated server. The server is shared among the few clients. This means, that it is not shared among the as many clients as in the shared hosting. A good VPS hosting provider will limit the number of clients sharing the physical server in order to effectively provide the minimum resources allotted to each client. Root access is the most important feature of VPS hosting. This means every client can install any of the applications, software and operating platforms which are legal and accompanied by proper license. It is best for those who want an isolated server that will not be affected by the amount of traffic other websites hosted on it gets. Everyone is allocated with definite amount of CPU, RAM and bandwidth usage. So, even if they receive higher amount of traffic it will not affect your bandwidth. However, for VPS hosting it is essential that you have some sort of knowledge about server maintenance and software configuration.

A VPS reside on the same server, but it's really a virtual server. That means no physical server exist. The VPS is partitioned using sophisticated server software. The VPS operates and work like a standalone server but in reality, it's still on a shared server. However, the software is able to isolate the server into different "compartments" so that one "compartment" won't affect the other.

For this reason, you can expect VPS servers to offer smaller amount of resources, since the resources are "split" among the various partitions. Resources must be your key deciding factor. A VPS may offer just about 512MB or RAM, while a dedicated server can offer up to 2GB of RAM or more.
