A VPS (Virtual Private Server) runs its own copy of an operating system that is installed on a physical computer. The internet hosting service provider sells it as a service to end users and clients to use it. It functions independently of other virtual spaces on the same machine. VPS hosting is the preferred option for people who need more resources and control over their websites. Besides, it is also good for people who want to upgrade from a shared hosting plan. With VPS hosting, the end user can set up their website with either a Windows or a Linux operating system.
