What is Linux VPS?

A Linux VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtualized server environment that runs on the Linux operating system. It provides you with dedicated resources—such as CPU, RAM, and storage—within a shared hosting environment. Unlike shared hosting, a Linux VPS offers greater control, flexibility, and security, allowing you to install software, configure the system, and manage workloads as if you had your own physical server. It’s an ideal solution for developers, startups, and businesses looking for affordable yet powerful hosting with full root access.

  • Customizability: With root access, you have full control to install any software and customize your server environment.
  • Performance: Linux VPS often performs better under heavy loads because it is less resource-intensive compared to other operating systems.
