A Virtual Private Server (VPS), not to be confused with a Virtual Private Network (VPN), is a virtual machine that provides its own server to clients. The best way to think of the VPS is like an apartment complex. Every account is renting space within the building and has their own resources they can use, yet shares the building.

If you think of shared hosting, all the resources are spread across everyone on the server. The VPS has specific resources assigned to your account, allowing you to use them however you need.

The VPS runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and you may have to request for superuser level access within the OS. This will enable you to be able to install almost any software that runs on that OS. This can be a much-preferred method for customers as it allows Linux OS to run servers.
