VPS Hosting- A New Alternative for Hosting

VPS Hosting is one of the services which are a perfect intermediate between Dedicated Server Hosting and Shared Hosting. It uses a single physical server which is divided into further servers at the operating system level using virtualization. The virtual servers that are created from the physical server are dedicated to different clients. Each virtual server is an independent server having its operating system that can be rebooted independently. The users are unaware of the fact that they are sharing the same hardware resources but the system resources are different for each of the users which increases the performance parameter. More than one client is hosted on the same physical server but it appears to each of the user that the whole server is dedicated to them only. Each user gets the root access on their virtual private server which is a plus point as users can customize their server according to their requirements. With the root access, one can install any software applications and security upgrades patches.

VPS Hosting is an ideal option for the users who do not want to spend too much and also want good performance from the server. As VPS uses dedicated system resources, the user does not need to fight for the resources as it is in Shared Hosting. It is a better option in terms of cost and security features. As there is no sharing of the hardware resources and better level of abstraction is achieved in VPS Hosting, security is better in these servers. It absolutely depends on the requirements of the client to go for which type of hosting service. If the requirements are better security and a cost effective solution, then VPS Hosting is a perfect solution available to cater the needs.
