What is a VPS?
A virtual private server (VPS) is your own slice of a physical server hosted in a data center. Unlike shared hosting — where many websites compete for the same resources — a VPS gives you dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage that only you control. You get full root (administrator) access, meaning you can install any software, run any service, and configure the system exactly the way you want. Think of it as a computer in the cloud that’s always on and always connected to the internet.What’s included
