Virtual Private Server (VPS)

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtualised hosting environment created by partitioning a physical server into multiple isolated virtual servers. Each VPS operates as an independent entity with its own dedicated resources, including CPU, memory, and storage. It bridges the gap between shared hosting and dedicated servers, offering a cost-effective solution for websites that require more resources and flexibility.

VPS hosting is a good option if you have a growing or resource-intensive website that needs scalable and robust hosting without the cost of a dedicated server.
