What is a virtual private server and xmpp server?. Virtual private server (VPS) is the term used in the web hosting industry to refer to a virtual machine. Virtual private servers are similar in some ways to dedicated servers and are similar in other ways to the shared servers. In a VPS service, the client feels that he/she is allocated a separate server for his/her website. The client is provided with a separate operating system and he/she can install any software that is ' permitted explosives by the operating system. The client is also allocated separate resources such as CPU time and bandwidth. These are the ways in which VPS hosting is similar to dedicated servers.
In reality the client's operating system is stored in the same us many other VPS server operating systems (of other clients). In other words, the client actually shares a single server with other VPS clients; similar to shared hosting. The difference between shared hosting and VPS hosting is that the client is allocated separate software and other such non-physical resources in VPS hosting. The functionality of the client's operating system is not at all influenced by the presence of other operating systems.
VPS severs typically cost more than shared hosting, but is less expensive than dedicated servers. Some types of software will not function properly in a VPS operating environment. Such software includes anti-virus software and firewalls. The web hosting provider may also place additional restrictions, but usually such restrictions are more lenient than the restrictions placed on shared hosting. The number of VPS clients who can share one machine is limited by the resources available in that machine (including processor speed and RAM).
