The technology used behind VPS hosting is analogous to that of VMware or Virtual Box.
These programs let you to ride several virtualized operating systems on single machine.
For example, your desktop could be running Windows 7,
but you can also lane other operating systems like Windows 7 or XP without demanding to restart your computer.

In VPS a virtual server occurs within a physical server, giving you with a private SPACE together with the extra sites on that server.
The VPS works on its individual operating system, apart from that upon which the physical server runs.
Your site is quiet on a shared server; the virtual private settings deliver you some of the welfares of a dedicated server.

A VPS works just like a dedicated server when it comes to features, flexibility and control, it can be termed as a small dedicated server.
You get full flexibility to install any application and software unlike a shared hosting environment. The best part is it offers full root access.

You can create multiple virtual servers from a singly dedicated server, these machines have their own RAM and HD space and so are called Virtual private servers.
A dedicated server can be split into multiple VPS's using softwares like OpenVZ, Xen, Citrix Xenserver, etc.
Each VPS can run its own full fledge OS and can be rebooted independently, just like a dedicated server.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting means that you can share server fees along with various other consumers, however gives you total handle over your own personal applications.
Virtual Private Servers run as separated operations within a web Server, and gives root access with full privacy with all the capability for assured bandwidth, CPU, in addition to hard disk drive.
