[u]What is a VPS?[/u]
A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting service. A VPS runs its own copy of an operating system, and customers have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS.
[u]Where do I get a VPS?[/u]
There are free or 'free trial' VPS and there are paid VPS listed below. Free or 'free trial' VPS do not last long and performance may degrade over time due to abusive usage and overcrowding. Paid VPS lasts as long as you need based on a number of credits you purchase or the term of your lease i.e. monthly, quarterly, etc. Paid VPS performance is generally more stable, however, that will also depend on how the VPS is managed by the provider.
[u]Why do I need a VPS?[/u]
Most common reason is you want to run programs 24/7. Others might be: you do not have a powerful PC, you do not want to short-lived your laptop running 24/7, you want to avoid paying a hefty electricity bill, you cannot stand the humming sound of your PC running all night.
