What is a Virtual Private Server?
Back to web hosting
With a Virtual Private server, you get access to a virtual server. Your VPS is hosted together with a number of other virtual servers on a fast physical server. This means that you share the capacity of the physical server. This is especially advantageous for the price you pay, while still getting the performance you would expect from your own server.? A Virtual Private Server comes standard managed, but here is also the possibility for an unmanaged variant.
The choice for a Virtual Private Server can become attractive when:
- a backup server is needed for your data;
- multiple IP addresses are needed;
- when the daily data transfer becomes excessive;
- when you need a lot of storage capacity;
- when your capacity needs increase over the years; you can easily increase capacity.
- if you want to host specific applications.
