Virtual Private Servers, or VPS’s for short have been around since the 90s but only recently have they gained popularity in comparison to other types of hosting. A Virtual private server is similar to a Dedicated Server however there are some key differences that determine whether or not this style might be right fit depending on your needs as an individual/business looking into getting their own web presence online! One major difference between public and dedicated servers would seem like convenience; you can access yours from any location through internet connection whereas others need physical access at either end which may make things more difficult when trying push products out via social media channels etcetera
