Virtual Private Server:VPS
Define VPS?
VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. It is a hosting environment which combines the significance of both shared hosting as well as dedicated hosting. It does this by creating a virtual private server which works inside a hardware server via a specially designed partition software.
Every VPS partition runs its own operating system in a secured and independent environment which cannot be used or interrupted by its neighbours of the same server. These VPS Hosting gives you the same level of root access as a dedicated server.It acts like a stand-alone server.With a VPS you are virtually running your own server but at a fraction of the cost of a Dedicated server.
How does Virtuozzo works
1) Virtuozzo creates an isolated, secure virtual environments (VEs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization, ensuring guaranteed resources and preventing applications from conflicting with each other. Each Virtual Enviornment performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server like a dedicated server.
2) With the help of Virtuozzo each VPS can be rebooted independently and have users, IP addresses, processes, system libraries and configuration files.
3) Each VPS Hosting packages can be upgraded or downgraded without any down time at any point of time. Each VPS plan can also be upgraded to a DDS (1VPS on a single server) without any configuration changes on your side.
