Each VPS account has its own private mail server, filtered by Postini. This eliminates the risk that your mail service will be blacklisted due to abuses of others sharing the same mail service. It also allows you to take your inbox back from the SPAMMERS.

At first, VPS is not a marketing term, it's service which offers a similar environment like dedicated server. You can reboot your VPS individually, even you gets a root access to your virtual machine like dedicated server. It's a cost effective solution for those users who cannot afford dedicated hosting services for some reasons.
