Sure, you could just host your website on a Shared Website Hosting Server, but if your website needs that little bit of spice in regards to speed, space and processing power; like a OpenVZ Virtual Private Server , then a Virtual Private Server sounds like a great idea, right? The Best Brickwork Company in Maidstone uses specialist hosting for their website from one of UK's best VPS Hosting companies, knnown as Giraffe Hosting.
A VPS is similar to a Semi-Dedicated Server and a Dedicated Server, with only a few differences.
With a VPS, there are a few other customers on the same server. You have just been alocated a share of a Dedicated Server that has been virtualized to your request.
This means that you still have Root Access to the server, and can perform tasks that Shared Hosting users are unable to; due the the security restrictions on a shared server.
Virtual Private Servers are a Virtual Environment on a Dedicated Server; that have a large share of the Server Resources.
There are many options for this type of hosting server, and OpenVZ is one of those options alongside KVM VPS Hosting.
