VPS Stands for Virtual Private Server. As the Name suggests, it’s a Virtually Designed Private server.
Let’s dig some more deep into VPS and its functions.
So if you are aware of how Shared and Reseller Hosting works, it would be easier for you to understand what a VPS is, however here’s a small overview.
Virtual Private server is a small portion of a large (Dedicated server) which is virtually separated using software, technically called as Virtualization. Creating a VPS does not require hardware (RAM, CPU, and Disk Space) of its own but is created using the hardware of the dedicated server.

Let’s consider a scenario: -

Aaron has a computer with very high resources like 16GB RAM, 8 Cores of CPU and 200 GB of Disk Space, however, Aaron Does not use it completely. So what Aaron can do is, with Virtualization technology (Software) he can convert his single Computer into 4 Virtual Computers so he can rent the other 3 which creates additional revenue of Aaron.
So with this Technology Aaron can Create 4 Virtual computers, Each computer will now have 4 GB RAM, 2 Cores Of CPU and 50 GB of Disk Space, All this from the original Computer Hardware Resources. This is basically how a VPS is created. The only Difference is that it’s not like a normal computer, but it’s a computer which is placed in a secured Data Center with high Internet connectivity so you can access it from anywhere in the World.
VPS gives you the opportunity to choose which Operating system to use, like if you want Windows, Linux, Ubuntu or any other according to your requirement.

Now let’s see who all can benefit using a VPS.
