UK Linux VPS is Virtual Private Server running the Linux operating system. VPS (or Virtual Private Server) is basically a virtual machine that exists on physical hardware. A VPS is often regarded as a fully independent virtual computer that can be tailored and configured in a variety of ways to suit the user. VPS is seen as the precursor to Cloud Servers, in the respect that a VPS can be dynamic and additional hardware such as RAM can be added and the server itself can be moved to different hardware whilst it’s running.
