Very much as if you were to reinstall your operating system on your PC at home, you can divide the hard drive into many mini drives such as C;, D;, E; and so on. Mind you, in this case it is slightly different as each division within a VPS server can be completely different. A drive would be split up into many partitions and within each partition there can be a completely different make up of features and components and each environment is mutually exclusive of each other except for actual total system resources such as CPU and RAM, though each partition has its set limits which can be hard or soft limits, depending on restrictions created by your hosting provider.
VPS Hosting bridge the gap between shared web hosting services and dedicated hosting services
This type of VPS for web hosting is called “Hardware Virtualization” as opposed to software which is completely different and its application is not really what we want to run through at this point as it doesn’t really have to do with hosting or rather, the hosting we’re thinking of. What’s the best part of VPS? Essentially it’s a mini server, but with all the perks of root or administration access. In a shared environment you are limited to what you can do mainly because what you may need in a hosting account may negatively affect someone else in the same shared server as you, therefore, VPS allows you to do this without the extra costs incurred for a dedicated server.
Ultimately, when you choose a VPS package base it on your knowledge of hosting. If you are unfamiliar with root and how to administrate a web account, your best bet is to purchase a managed package and if you are savvy with technology and feel comfortable in the root/admin environment, unmanaged is the way to go.
