SERVER
A server is a strong computer that stores all the data and files for a website. When a domain name is typed into the browser, that server points the site to the user's computer.
Virtual
Virtualization segregates a complete server into multiple virtual machines. Despite operating like several different servers it is still a single piece of hardware.
Private
Private means individuality and so it is. The user's virtual server and the resources are reserved for the user only which leads to greater efficiency, smooth performance, and enhanced security.
* The hosting provider will install each VPS on a physical machine and such VPS will run on its separate operating system.
* To simplify it an example could be quoted,
As there are shared gyms, stores, and gardens in the society but different houses and apartments, in the same way, the user's customers have a single physical server but own dedicated resources.
Cost-effectiveness
VPS does not cost an arm and a leg like Dedicated hosting and has better performance than Shared hosting. It is a reliable option for websites that have a growth outlook.
Customization
VPS users can customize their server settings to utilize them the most.
Control

Scalability: It’s easy to scale VPS resources like CPU cores, RAM, and storage as per the demand of site traffic. Websites can also upgrade their plans as per their requirement.
Dedicated resources VPS provides resources that are not shared which promotes better control.
