What could be some pros and cons of a VPS? Well, for one thing, you can often resell it. Another advantage is in the fact that it can power a larger website or make a smaller website work better.


 
VPS servers allow users to work like their own virtual machine without investing in a dedicated server.
These are some of the benefits of VPS hosting:

Customization: Through VPS users will have their own OS and thus can customize it as per their needs. If you have your own server applications like PhP to MySQL, Apache, customization can be done as per the need of the server.

Control: During application installation it is always required to restart the system to finalize the installation process. Even though you share the VPS server, it is possible for you to restart your own system without disturbing others.

Cheaper: VPS network is cost-effective as compared to dedicated server.
