How Does VPS Hosting Work

How Does VPS Hosting Work?

VPS hosting uses a parent server to host multiple virtual servers that are separated from each other. Using software called a hypervisor, the hosting company implements a virtual layer on top of the operating system (OS) to segment the virtual servers. The separation between virtual walls allows each user to install their own OS and software, creating a server that’s truly private, separated from others on the OS level.

 VPS Used For?

A VPS is typically used for smaller workloads that need consistent performance.

Storing company and customer files in a way that’s accessible anywhere in the world

 Benefits of VPS Hosting

VPS hosting delivers several important benefits that combine the best features of shared and dedicated hosting. Your favorite VPS features will vary based on how your company uses it. But, in general, there are a few key benefits to VPS hosting:

Reliable performance

You have your own allocated bandwidth and storage and don’t have to share with other companies.

Growth

Scaling is fast and easy.

Value

VPS hosting isn’t as cheap as shared hosting, but it’s less expensive than dedicated because you only pay for what you need. VPS delivers plenty of value for the money.

Data protection

VPS hosting makes it easy to perform server backups. With Liquid Web, daily backups are standard for our VPS environments.

Control

You get SSH and root access to your environment, affording you more control.

Security

VPS environments are isolated from each other, making them more secure than shared hosting environments.

Customization

VPS hosting is highly customizable so you get only the features you want which even includes the operating system (OS) of your choice.
