Good question! A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a bit like a hybrid between shared hosting and a dedicated server. While it’s not quite the best of both worlds, it strikes a great balance and can help you save on costs. Some people compare shared hosting to living in an apartment complex and VPS hosting to living in a condo.
With shared hosting, you’re sharing a server and its resources with several other websites. With a VPS, you’re still sharing some resources, as that’s determined by the hardware, but the software is set up to make one physical machine act like multiple servers, providing each user with their own virtual server.
For webmasters, a VPS offers the administrative power of a dedicated hosting setup, including the ability to customize your server to meet your needs.
