So, what is a VPS?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting environment that combines the benefits of both shared hosting and dedicated hosting. It does this by creating a virtual server that runs inside a hardware server via a specially designed partition.
Each Virtual Private Server partition runs its own operating system in a secure and private environment and cannot be accessed or interrupted by its neighbours.
This system gives you the same level of root access as a dedicated server whilst sharing the cost of the hardware. With a VPS you are virtually running your own server but at a fraction of the cost.
The flexibility of a dedicated server
Users share system resources, such as the CPU and memory, but unlike shared hosting (a virtual host on a shared hardware server ) the file system is fully partitioned. This means you get a guaranteed share of the server's resources, while full root access allows you to completely customise the virtual server, adding or changing modules and installing your own software.
Highly cost effective
Because a single physical server is shared between several users, the cost of a virtual server is small when compared to the price of a dedicated server. But the level of flexibility is similar (although you'll still need a dedicated server for really demanding applications or high-traffic sites).
How much technical knowledge do I need?
All of our VPS solutions come with our VPS Manager that allows you to control every aspect of your VPS - from a simple reboot to reinstalling a new operating system. Because you get full root access to your VPS, you can install any software, thus requiring some technical knowledge and understanding of how a server works.
ValueVPS offers VPS & server management for a small monthly fee - let us handle the server aministration worries, leaving you to concentrate on your websites.
All of our VPS's are managed from the same panel so if you have multiple VPS's running multiple operating systems (even Windows!) you can manage them all from one central control panel..
