When compared to shared hosting, which provides no dedicated storage space for websites, virtual private servers (VPS) offer a solution that is both more secure and more reliable. On the other hand, it is easier to manage and less expensive than hiring a complete server.
Website owners who have medium-level traffic that surpasses the restrictions of shared hosting plans but who do not yet require the resources of a dedicated server typically opt for virtual private server, or VPS, hosting for their websites.
