VPS or VDS (virtual dedicated servers) provide a halfway house between virtual and dedicated hosting. It's excellent for people who need more resources and bandwidth, but do not require a dedicated server yet.

What are Virtual Private Servers?

Virtual Private Servers (VPS) is a relatively new concept in web hosting. It is a technology that enables you to get the flexibility of a dedicated server while not purchasing an entire server. VPS seperates one physical server into many, with each account holder occupying one of these virtual servers. You can install and run any programs within this space as you would in a dedicated server.

VPS is a cost effective way to gain more server resources and flexibility without paying a huge premium for a dedicated server. Most sites that have outgrown a virtual hosting account should consider a VPS first before going fully dedicated.
