How a VPS Works: The Power of Virtualization

How a VPS Works: The Power of Virtualization

A VPS is made possible by a hypervisor, a software layer installed on the physical server. The hypervisor's job is to abstract the server's resources—CPUs, RAM, storage—and partition them into multiple secure, isolated virtual machines. Each VPS functions as a fully independent server with its own:

  • Operating System (e.g., Linux or Windows Server)
  • Allocated resources (CPU cores, RAM, disk space)
  • Root/administrator access
  • IP address, ports, and software applications

Your resources are guaranteed and are not affected by the activity of other VPS users on the same physical machine, providing a predictable and stable hosting environment.
