VPS it stands for Virtual Private Server which is a computer machine that runs on the Internet, in the Cloud. Any VPS is accessed over the Internet from a computer through a web browser, terminal app or other software, and they can also be accessed from a mobile device as well as long as it got a decent Internet connection. It is also good to know, that any VPS is actually a partition of a large powerful web-server and it is working just like a dedicated server but with less allocated resources and hosting space, that is way it becomes much more affordable than a dedicated server.
So a partition created on a web-server can become a VPS, and it does that by using ‘virtualization’ software that basically generates the ‘Virtual Machine’ (VM) or (VPS).
