InvisionTech Virtual Private Servers (VPS / VDS)

A virtual private server (also referred to as virtual dedicated server, and abbreviated VPS or VDS) is a server run through virtualization in tandem with other virtualized servers on one physical machine.

Virtual private servers bridge the gap between shared web hosting services and dedicated hosting services, giving independence from other customers of the VPS service in software terms but at less cost than a physical dedicated server.

As a VPS runs its own copy of its operating system, customers have superuser-level (root) access to the machine, and can install almost any software that runs on the OS. Certain software does not run well in a virtualized environment, including firewalls and some anti-virus software.

Each VPS comes with guaranteed CPU, RAM, disk space, and bandwidth resources. Virtual private servers have become common sandboxes for possibly-insecure public services or update testing. For example, a single physical server might have two virtual private servers running: one hosting the production-level (live) website, and a second which houses a copy of it. When updates to crucial parts of software need to be made, they can be tested in the second VPS, allowing for detailed testing to be conducted without requiring several physical servers.

If you are interested in having a dedicated server set up with virtualization to run VPS environments, please contact our Sales Department for more details.
