VPS is an abbreviation for “virtual private server”. A VPS works by dividing a physical server into separate virtual machines. Each of these virtual machines, or virtual private servers, operate completely independently from one another. In other words, each VPS has its own operating system as well as allocation of resources like RAM, CPU and disk space. This provides you with an environment that closely mimics that of a Dedicated Server, without the costs associated with it.

Managed VPS hosting is the ideal solution for both non-technical but also technically savvy people since Rivalhost takes care of any technical tasks related to the server. In other words, Rivalhost’s technical team is responsible for managing the server including system upgrades and configuration – your only job is to run your website or online business.

When purchasing a VPS, you will gain administrative access through a control panel to do whatever you want with your server, while Rivalhost will manage all the hardware, continuously update system software, ensure security, and maintain hardware resources to run according to the VPS package specification.

A VPS can be used for many different applications. It can be used for web hosting, an email server, SAAS applications, DNS Cluster and so forth. The limitations of a VPS come down to the application requirements needed — a VPS will be able to run most applications depending on its needs.
