VPS stands for Virtual Private Server and isa lower cost alternative to a full dedicated server. Using virtualization software one physical server is split into several virtual servers. This way you could have four VPS servers on one physical server. They split the CPU and memory and each get a share dedicated to just that VPS server.
The main advantage is that since the servers are virtual you have full control while being totally independent from the other virtual servers. Thus the other VPS accounts shouldn't be able to cause problems for your VPS. This is much better then shared or reseller hosting where any person on the server can cause you problems if they overload the CPU or memory.
Advantages of a VPS
Total control of your VPS.
Cheaper than a dedicated server.
Dedicated CPU/Memory so you always have a set amount for you.
Other people on the server can't cause problems for you.
You can usually find a VPS plan from a good host for around $40 to $60 a month. It has a lot better uptime when compared to shared hosting since other people can't cause problems and is way less expensive than a dedicated server. Highly recommended!
