Rackmount hosting and colocation http://www.rackmounthosting.com Premium class web hosting, dedicated servers and colocation Sat, 30 Aug 2008 16:49:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 en What is a Virtual Private Server http://www.rackmounthosting.com/what-is-a-virtual-private-server/ http://www.rackmounthosting.com/what-is-a-virtual-private-server/#comments Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:11:09 +0000 ServerColoGuy http://www.rackmounthosting.com/what-is-a-virtual-private-server/ A virtual private server is one server that has been partitioned near the root, and is split into numerous servers which are dedicated. The good thing about this is that the user can share the cost of the connection, as well as the maintenance and hardware. Like the shared hosting, you can split the cost with other users, but you are given a larger degree of freedom. The most powerful advantage to the virtual private server is that you are allowed to have complete maintenance over the site, and you are not at the mercy of a system administrator. It should also be noted that this server type has a high level of security for a very competitive cost.

The virtual private server is a great option for small or medium sized companies. These businesses tend to have needs which are quite complex, and the virtual private server can meet them. Despite this, there are disadvantages to the virtual private server as well. Users are expected to have a certain level of programming experience if they want to change the settings. However, many companies will provide you with a manual, and this will make things easier.
