A VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) is a hosting service that divides a physical server into multiple virtual servers, offering users their own independent virtual server. Each user gets allocated specific resources like CPU, RAM, and storage while sharing the physical server with others. However, each VDS operates independently, ensuring that users have full control over their virtual server, including its configuration and operating system. VDS servers are ideal for users who need more customization, control, and high performance compared to shared hosting services. They can be used for websites, applications, and data storage, offering greater flexibility and security.
Unlike shared hosting, where multiple websites share the same server resources, a VDS server provides a more stable environment by allocating dedicated resources to each user. This makes VDS an excellent choice for high-traffic websites or resource-intensive applications.
