Virtual Private Hosting, or VPS as its known, is an economical way to obtain the functionality of a dedicated server. Through the software installed on the server, accounts are created in complete isolation from one another.
Accounts exist on the same server, much like shared hosting, but these accounts allow root access to install programs and applications that would not be available to other accounts.
You are able to customize your VPS just like a dedicated server but at a fraction of the cost. VPS accounts operate independently of each other. Each has its own operating system, IP and applications, including Sendmail, and can be customized by the owner with new applications.
VPS also offers the customer a certain minimum allowance of bandwidth and processor time, so one account cannot monopolize an entire server. VPS accounts utilize unique Sendmail, removing the danger of server-wide blacklisting. |
