What Is A Virtual Private Server (VPS)?

To put it simply, a Virtual Private Server (or VPS for short) is a method of splitting a dedicated server into several virtual servers.

Each virtual server can act independently from one another, meaning you're able to do 'anything you like' without affecting the server itself. A VPS is great for anyone looking at run or host their own specific software without any restrictions, such as that of being on a shared server, or slow home-internet connections and so on.

All for a fraction of the cost of what a dedicated server would otherwise cost you.
