Frequently Asked Questions about Servers

A VPS is created by dividing a large webserver into smaller ‘chunks.’ Each chunk acts as if it was its own independent server. This offers the power of a dedicated server, with the added benefit of being both lower cost and more scalable – if more resources are required, this can usually be provisioned within a short timeframe, rather than having to order in additional hardware.

Dedicated server hosting allows you to lease a private server that is used solely by your sites/applications. Dedicated web hosting is superior to shared hosting in that it has less limitation imposed upon it. While dedicated server hosting is regarded as the most powerful hosting type on the market, it is also the most expensive option.
