What is a virtual private server (VPS)?
A virtual private server uses the virtualization technology to partition the physical server hardware into many virtual servers. This means that a physical server is divided into smaller, virtual parts. The virtual server assigned to you is completely yours and provides you with the complete capacity of a dedicated server at a lower cost. A virtual private server has its own storage system, its own operating system, dedicated RAM and CPU resources. VPS hosting environment can also be customized according to the requirements of the user. VPS hosting can be called as an intermediate hosting solution between shared hosting and dedicated hosting.

How is a VPS different from shared and dedicated hosting?
In shared hosting, you lease a specific part of the server and share the resources like memory, bandwidth, CPU, disk space etc. Shared hosting is ideal for small websites as less resources are required for website functions. In shared hosting, your website shares the space with other websites on the physical server. However, if any of the websites on the shared server is using a lot of resources, then there are possibilities that the performance of your website might get affected and your website might become slow.
In case of a VPS, even though a physical server is partitioned into virtual parts, every virtual server is isolated from each other. So even if a bad user is hosted on a VPS and shares the same physical server, your website performance is not going to get affected in any way. This is because on a VPS, your website data is secured and isolated from the other customers. Every virtual private server users have their own dedicated server resources.
A dedicated server is similar to owning a complete house, you have a large number of resources at your disposal and you also have to pay more for them. In dedicated hosting you rent the complete server and it is not shared with any other user. You get the complete control on the server including the hardware, operating system etc. This is an expensive choice of hosting and it is usually preferred by the high profile websites or the websites that deal with a huge amount of data on a daily basis.
