Virtual Private Servers

Virtual private servers occupy a middle ground between the normal shared web servers and the more expensive options of private dedicated servers. A virtual private server comes from a split of a single server into multiple parts that give the appearance of being whole servers. Although renting a virtual private server does not provide you with an entire server, it does give you a full, root-level control over your part of the server.

At Rate My Host, you can find a complete rundown of all the major web hosting services, including virtual private servers, dedicated servers, and shared servers. An entire section of our listing of the top web providers is devoted to virtual private servers. Our hundreds of reviews and ratings of each service can help you evaluate the intangibles of each individual web host, such as customer service and reliability.

The benefit of a virtual private server is control. With root-level control of your server, you can decide elements like the operating system on which your website will run. Although more expensive than normal shared servers, the added control may be well worth it to businesses and other major websites.
