What is VPS server?
The full form of VPS is Virtual Private Server. It's the most secure and fast compared to shared hosting/server. In the term VPS, "V" stands for virtual, so you can understand that the server is divided into a virtual form instead of a physical one. Each VPS server runs independently, like the operating system, RAM, and CPU.
You own a house with four rooms, and each room has been rented out. So, in this case, four families are living in your house independently. Similarly, a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) is a physical server whose owner divides it into four independent servers virtually.
What is unmanaged and managed server?
When you buy a VPS or VDS server online, in this case, you can see most companies mention the terms "unmanaged server" and "managed server." If you purchase an unmanaged server, in that case, you have to manage and maintain your server manually, like security or any other server-related issue. And if you buy a managed server, in that case, the company will maintain your server on your behalf. Managing a VPS or VDS server is always challenging for a non-technical person. You can use a managed server so the server company will maintain the server by paying the monthly charge.
