VPS Hosting
A Virtual server (VPS) hosting account is ideal when your web sites are beginning to outgrow shared web hosting. For example, you may be generating a lot of traffic, need to install your own software, need to reboot frequently, or just want to dabble with the operating system with full administrative control!
It used to be that a dedicated server was the only way you could get this level of control, but the cost of dedicated servers were prohibitive to all but the largest businesses. Even with the recent reduction in dedicated server prices, it may still be better to opt for a virtual server.
Virtual servers run on a physical server, but are fully independent of the others customers on the same server. This means you can logon to the host operating system as administrator and install software, perform reboots and generally do what you like without causing issues to other on the same server.
With prices for mothly virtual server rental lower than a dedicated server, it makes sense to go virtual unless you have very demanding applications and uptime requirements.
