Virtual Private Servers
Putting it simply VPS (or vitual private server) is the way to put multiple accounts on one server and splitting the server (cpu resources, memory, and hard drive space) so that all of these accounts act "like" their own server. In other words, a virtual private server eliminates the restrictions of virtual hosting by providing all of the administrative features of a dedicated server.
The virtual private server was first implemented by hosting giant NTT/Verio to bridge the gap between shared hosting environments and customized dedicated servers. By using a virtual private server, Web hosting resellers and Web designers can provide small businesses the performance, security, and control of dedicated hosting services at a fraction of the cost.
A virtual private server will ensure "performance isolation" so that heavy traffic or CPU loads will not affect other VPS solutions on the same infrastructure. One of the problems with shared hosting is that some Hosts will load more accounts than a sever can take. In this instance, a Web site will load slowly not because of what that user does but because of what other users are doing on the server. In a VPS situation, a user has their own specific amount of system resources and because of this the Web site will come up on someone's browser at a normalized pace.more.....
