What is a VPS hosting?

VPS is an acronym for Virtual Private Server and it functions like a dedicated server in terms of administration since you receive complete root access with a possibility to reboot the VPS web server remotely. The VPS hosting shares system resources with other virtual servers that are hosted on the same physical machine.
