What is VPS?
DreamHost partitions a physical server into multiple virtual servers that each have a protected and reserved amount of CPU and RAM resources. Unlike Shared hosting, VPS instances do not compete against each other for these resources. Therefore, a spike in resource demand among other VPS instances, will not lead to a performance decline in your website or database.
Who uses VPS Hosting?
VPS Hosting is a good fit for businesses or users who are experiencing rapid growth, heavy website traffic, or running complex applications.
Benefits of VPS Hosting
-

Flexible
Scale up your performance as your website grows. Linux-VServer allows you to quickly scale vertically with no need to reboot. Add another virtual server instance in seconds (e.g. a low-resource VPS for chat).
-

Reduced Costs
Only pay for the server performance you plan on needing. Dial in your CPU/RAM requirements and avoid paying for resources that you will not use.
-

No Overage Fees
Bandwidth and disk capacity for your site are both unlimited! There is no need to worry about getting hit with surprise overage fees.
-

High Level of Control
Unlike Shared hosting, you have control over your VPS. You have full root access to your virtual server, and the ability to reboot remotely from our homegrown web panel. Utilize our API and write code to programmatically control your VPS.
-

Easy to Use
DreamHost makes managing your VPS a breeze. Our web panel’s GUI provides access to historical usage graphs for memory and load. Simply adjust our GUI slider to change your load/memory requirements. You can also quickly install popular applications like WordPress with our One-Click Installer.
