What is a VPS and How to Purchase One?

A VPS is a virtual machine that provides server resources on a physical server shared with other users. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is typically preferred when shared hosting becomes insufficient, and more resources are needed. Since each VPS user has dedicated resources such as RAM, CPU, and storage, it offers better performance. Apart from situations where hosting packages fall short, VPS is also the choice of those who want to manage their own server and take full control. With Administrator/Root access, users can optimize all settings, including email configurations, SSL, and security adjustments, creating a fully customized environment. In addition to advantages like speed and management, one of the main reasons for choosing a VPS is the dedicated IP address assigned to the server.

In shared hosting, multiple users share the same IP address, whereas a VPS has a unique IP address. A dedicated IP is preferred for both SEO benefits and security reasons (blacklist).
