What is a VPS?
A VPS, or Virtual Private Server, is a virtual server that acts like its own small server computer on the network.
Although it shares a physical server with other users, each VPS has its own resources and operating system.
A VPS gives you full control, so you can install your own applications, maintain websites, or even run a game server - just like on your own server.
