What is VPS?
VPS (virtual private server) or VDS virtual dedicated server), virtual dedicated server - a type of server, root access to which its client receives via a remote Internet connection. In terms of operating system management, it largely corresponds to a dedicated server. In particular: root access, its own IP addresses, ports, filtering rules and routing tables.
Why VPS?
A virtual server (VDS/VPS) uses part of the resources of the physical server on which the virtual machine is running. These resources are completely at your disposal and cannot be used by your “neighbors” on the server. A dedicated server uses 100% of the resources, because it is a full-fledged physical machine. But the VPS service is cheaper and is suitable for projects that do not require high-load projects.
