VPS hosting
A VPS is a virtual machine running on a shared physical host: you get root access, your own operating system and a fixed share of cores, memory and disk, but the hardware itself is shared with other tenants. It sits between shared hosting, where you cannot install your own software, and a dedicated server, which you pay for in full.
Beyond the monthly price, three things decide whether a plan fits: the virtualisation type (KVM gives you your own kernel and the ability to load modules), the disk type and size, and what the word «unlimited» actually covers in the traffic column.
