What is a VPS? Why do I need one?
With a typical shared hosting service you are just one of potentially 100s of web sites on the same server, with only a small share of the available CPU and RAM. This is simply insufficient for many modern web sites to perform acceptably. Security can also be an issue with such hosting when it not properly set up and/or maintained. If a fellow client web site is hacked, it can cause problems for your own web site.
For this reason a popular trend has been the move to virtual private servers (VPS'). This is where a client essentially receives a slice of the server resources, ie. CPU, RAM, and disk space. Here they may install their own operating system and web site, safe and secure from the security issues of other client sites. Typically there might be 1 - 10 VPS clients on a server, and the server intelligently allocates resources to each VPS. If one VPS temporarily needs more CPU time or RAM and it is available, it will be allocated to them, again assuring great performance. So for great performance and security the VPS is a great solution.
A VPS is a little more expensive than a basic shared hosting account, but it is considerably cheaper than a dedicated colocated server.
