Frequently Asked Questions

What is VPS hosting and virtual servers?
VPS is short for virtual private server and is also known as a virtual server. VPS Hosting is a hosting solution for websites and applications, where server resources are isolated for individual users. VPS users experience more consistent performance, which translates to more responsive and faster websites.
What is the difference between a virtual server and a dedicated server?
A virtual server and a dedicated server differ by the number of users that possess resources on a physical server. With a virtual private server, some of the resources are isolated for individual users, but there are multiple users on the same physical server. With a dedicated server, a single user has access to all of the resources of a physical server.

Does DreamHost offer VPS hosting with root access?
Our Managed Virtual Servers do not offer root access. However, many of our customers who require full control use our cloud servers, which have root level access.
Learn More
What is the difference between shared hosting and VPS hosting?
The difference between shared and VPS hosting comes down to three things: resources, price, and performance.
Resources — Plain and simple, shared hosting is sharing a server with other websites, where VPS hosting provides server resources dedicated to you.
Pricing — Shared hosting is generally cheaper because resources are shared with more users. Virtual Servers on the other hand, generally have fewer websites, but are more expensive.
Performance — The reason most people choose VPS over shared is because of performance. Their website or application has heavy resource demands, or they have a higher expectation of performance. VPS powered websites, when managed correctly (like we do here at DreamHost), are much faster and more responsive.
