Virtual Private Server technology (VPS) is essentially multiple isolated server environments on a single physical server. It uses its own disk space, RAM, CPU, IP addresses. A VPS account gives root access to the system, allowing for modifications of server configuration files and installation of applications.
Shared hosting (virtual hosting) is when you have multiple users residing on one server which share its resources and have the same operating system. Though you are sharing an environment each account does have its own “residence” which cannot be accessed by other users.
