VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. As the name suggests, it is a virtual server not a physical one. As per this innovative concept, multiple virtual servers are created on a single physical web server. Virtuuzzo is the most popular technology that is used to create this kind of partition in a web server.

Using the innovative technology like Virtuuzzo, multiple allocations are made on a single web server. These multiple allocations do not only share the server space but they also share its other resources. However, despite sharing the resources, each allocation works independently. No allocation has to do anything with the other allocations. They behave as a separate stand-alone web servers.

You can install different operating systems on different allocations or virtual servers. Because of these unique features, VPS server hosting is a bit costlier than shared hosting solution. In general, shared hosting services are available for just a couple of dollars per month. On the other hand, the average price for a VPS server hosting product is somewhere around fifty dollars. However, this amount is undoubtedly very reasonable in comparison to the hundreds of dollars that is charged for dedicated server hosting solutions.
