VPS

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) partitions a physical machine into isolated environments to give you dedicated resources and root access without the cost of bare metal.

VPS technology leverages a hypervisor (like KVM or Xen) to slice a single high-performance server into multiple independent units. You get guaranteed CPU cycles, RAM (often starting at 1GB or 2GB), and NVMe storage that won't be impacted by neighboring users. It is the tactical middle ground for scaling: you gain the administrative control of a dedicated server (full sudo privileges) while maintaining the flexibility of cloud billing. Whether you are deploying a Dockerized Python app or a high-traffic WordPress site, a VPS provides the predictable performance and security isolation required for production workloads.
