Some advantages of Virtual Private Servers:

- Full root access is provided to users of a VPS.
- Burstable RAM can be provided during times of high traffic or bandwidth usage.
- The physical server is maintained by the hosting provider.
- Cost is far less than a Dedicated Server and only slightly higher than a quality Shared Hosting account.

Some disadvantages of Virtual Private Servers:

- All server hardware is shared between VPS accounts. This includes processing power, RAM, and disk space.
- Users who are not familiar with server administration may have to purchase a managed VPS, as users are partially responsible for some server-side administration tasks.
