Wondering what a VPS is? Virtual private servers offer server resources shared over multiple virtual machines (VMs), providing the power and performance of a dedicated server but at a cheaper price point. This is made possible by server virtualisation, which breaks a physical server up into sections so that it can run as multiple separate virtual servers, each with its own OS and dedicated resources. Although you won’t have the same amount of power as you would get with an entire dedicated server to yourself, a VPS ensures you get an isolated server environment for better data security, performance and control – all at a fantastic price.

Because our VPS Hosting spreads resources over multiple VMs, this means that you don’t experience the same traffic and bandwidth limitations as you would with a shared hosting plan, where your resources are hosted in just one shared server environment. This means great reliability and super-fast speeds!

Yes of course. Whether you’ve outgrown your project, are experiencing traffic spikes or simply want insurance for future growth, you can easily scale to a higher VPS tier.

This can be done easily within your control panel. The only limitations to upgrading your VPS are that you must be upgrading to a server of a higher price with additional storage.

Server virtualisation is the technique used to split a physical server into separate VMs or virtual private servers. Server virtualisation can also mask server resources, making sure that users don’t have access to sensitive information – like how many processors there are, the different operating systems being used, or even the number of physical servers.

Server virtualisation is achieved by using a type of software called a hypervisor. The hypervisor sits between the server and the new virtual machines it creates, and it supports multiple VMs by virtually sharing their resources. Each virtual machine or VPS can then be allocated to customers.

With full root access, you have complete control over how you configure your virtual private servers and can use them for whatever you want. Commonly, virtual private server hosting (VPS hosting) includes uses such as for a web server or mail server. A VPS is also a good option for creating a testing or staging environment, or for creating a private gaming server to enjoy with your friends. Whether you need a server for business or pleasure, a VPS is a brilliant place to start thanks to its fantastic reliability, performance, security and scalability at a very reasonable cost.

Shared hosting hosts multiple websites on one server, sharing its resources. It’s cost-effective, but offers limited control. VPS hosting allocates dedicated virtual servers with separate resources for each website, providing more control and scalability.

Each virtual server is fully isolated from other virtual machines in the same server environment, meaning no need to share resources with noisy neighbours! Plus, you get much better privacy and the ability to fully control your own server, such as by installing your preferred OS or customising server settings to exactly suit the requirements of your project.

A VPS is ideal for individuals and businesses seeking dedicated resources and control over their hosting environment. Whether you’re a startup, small business, or enterprise, a Veerhost VPS provides the power and flexibility needed to host websites, applications, or online services with tailored performance.
