VPS hosting creates isolated virtual servers on a single physical machine. Each virtual server gets its own allocated resources like RAM and CPU, acting like a separate, dedicated server.
This differs from shared hosting, where resources are split among many users. Because of this isolation, performance is more consistent. You also gain more control over your server’s operating system and software installations, giving you root access.
This setup allows for easier scaling of resources as your needs grow, bridging the gap between basic shared hosting and the expense of a dedicated server.
