A virtual private server is a virtual machine with hardware resources dedicated to you. One of the key advantages of this solution is its cost, as it has a much more affordable price tag than a standard dedicated server.
If your project requires a specific server configuration, a certain operating system, and admin access to manage the environment and monitoring, then you should opt for a VPS. This way, you get root access to the server and configure it to suit your needs.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a type of hosting that provides its users with the ability to run their own operating system, software and applications. VPS servers are usually more powerful than shared hosting servers and they are more secure.
A VPS server hosts on a physical server which is then partitioned into multiple virtual servers. These virtual servers can be allocated resources separately from one another. Each one acts as if it's the only user on the machine.
