Summary
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a type of web hosting that combines the advantages of shared and dedicated hosting. It allows for creating a virtual server on a powerful physical server equipped with strong hardware such as fast processors, ample memory, and quick storage. This physical server hosts multiple VPS setups, each functioning as a separate machine. A VPS offers the flexibility to choose the operating system, including various versions of Linux or Windows Server, enabling the installation and running of specific software for projects.
