What is a VPS Server?

Definition
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtualized server that mimics a dedicated server within a shared hosting environment.

How It Works
The physical server is divided into multiple virtual compartments, each with its own resources like CPU, RAM, and storage.

Benefits
VPS offers better performance, control, and scalability than shared hosting.

Use Cases
Ideal for businesses experiencing growth, developers needing a testing environment, or medium-sized e-commerce sites.

Bonus
Most VPS plans are customizable and can run different OS or applications.
