Virtual Private Servers

Virtual private servers are also known as Virtual dedicated servers. They display a form of virtualization that split a single physical server into multiple virtual servers. This practice of dividing a single virtual server to make it appear as multiple virtual servers has been commonly observed in mainframe computers but not until recently has it been made so easy to obtain by small businesses.

In the Internet hosting service industry, VPS hosting fill the gap between shared web hosting service and dedicated hosting service and are fast becoming the foundation of many hosting companies. They allow grass root-level access to individual clients without requiring the actual hassle of physically dedicated servers. They are popularly used by businesses and individuals that need a customized solution that cannot be done in a shared hosting environment.
