Asking questions is not a problem, yes asking same questions in different categories does kinda frustrate an individual. Anyways, VPS is an abbreviation of Virtual Private Servers. A VPS is much similar to a Dedicated Server.You get dedicated resources alike a dedicated server.There are limited number of VPS accounts create on a physical server.The only difference between a dedicated server and VPS is the cost and the amount of resources allocation.

No problems at all in asking us questions

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a physical server sliced into multiple partitions that allow each partition to act as a virtual dedicated server. Each VPS runs its own operating system, has its own bandwidth & disk space, RAM (memory), IP address, etc, etc & can be separately rebooted. Virtual Private Servers give customers more freedom than shared hosting services & at a minor cost than a physical dedicated server.
