What is a Virtual Private Server (VPS)?
A Virtual Private Server is a server divided into fully separate hosting environments. When you purchase VPS hosting, one of those environments is completely dedicated to you. That means you don't have to share resources (such as RAM or CPU) with other customers and you're less likely to be impacted by their behavior.
Do I need a VPS or Dedicated server?
A dedicated server is a server that's dedicated to you and no one else, which means the world (or in this case, server) is your oyster. A VPS can be seen as a sectioned off environment within a dedicated server where you have your own resource allocation. Learn more about the benefits of VPS and Dedicated servers here.
What is the difference between "R" series VPS and the "T" series Cloud VPS?
Both VPS and Cloud VPS hosting use virtualisation technology to create isolated environments, but they differ fundamentally in their underlying infrastructure and how resources are managed. To learn more about the difference visit our knowledgebase article.
When should I use VPS hosting over Shared?
In short, a virtual private server is ideal for users looking for more control over their hosting environment. Maybe your site traffic has grown, or maybe you have multiple websites and need more resources to run them all effectively. A VPS gives you more flexibility and control to bump up things like RAM and disk space without paying for more than you need.
