Definition
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtualized server environment that provides dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, storage) within a shared physical server. Unlike shared hosting, a VPS gives creators full root access, isolated performance, and the ability to install custom software. VPS hosting is used for running web applications, APIs, databases, Discord bots, and automation scripts. Providers like DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr offer VPS plans starting at a few dollars per month. A VPS is the recommended hosting tier for creators building scalable web products.
