Occupying the space between the shared and dedicated hosting formats, a virtual dedicated server offers many of the capabilities and features of dedicated servers, including administrator (root) access and dedicated IP addresses, but at a much lower price. Users share a server, but because each virtual dedicated server is effectively isolated from other accounts, the user has full control over the server space.

Also, virtual dedicated server plans feature very high performance and available disk space and bandwidth. VPS is a hosting environment that gives your own Unix and windows virtual machine. Each VPS is a private and protected area that operates as an independent server. The VPS allows multiple customers to share the expense of hardware and network connections (and completely eliminate the hassle of maintaining it all) without sacrificing performance or the freedom to run whatever software you choose.

The secret behind VPS is how a single physical server is shared. Even though multiple customers share hardware, they do not share software. Every VPS has its own complete directory structure and set of dedicated applications (Web server, mail server, etc.). Each can be rebooted without affecting any other VPS on the physical server. Further, the VPS technology features 'fair share' scheduling of processes, memory, and network, hence each VPS receives the deserved resources.

It's the best defense in preventing any single VPS from misusing shared resources and as a result ensures consistency in website application performance. Virtual Private Servers are isolated server environments located on a single partitioned physical server splitting a single physical server into multiple virtual servers. A VPS acts like a stand-alone server for its users and applications

Key features of Webindia's Virtual Private Server systems:

• Each VPS imparts full root access, houses an application, allows modification of system libraries, etc.,
• Each VPS allows hosting of unlimited domains.
• Each VPS enables you to manage your dedicated environment through SSH and a control panel.
• Each VPS ensures security, as the full system is not shared, whereas in a shared system danger of multi-access is very prominent when server breaks.
