I would suggest you to go through http://blog.eukhost.com/2006/09/22/w...rivate-server/ and then take a look at http://www.eukhost.com/<a href="http...</a>_linux.php

VPS Hosting has many advantages as its just like a Dedicated Server and you get all advantages of a dedicated server with the VPS Hosting. Managing a VPS Hosting is almost similar to managing a dedicated server and security features that one needs to implement on a VPS Hosting can be implemented from the node itself so you can say that you dont need to ask anyone else to manage and secure your VPS Hosting.

Whatever CPU is alloted on a dedicated server is completely dedicated for you. VPS Hosting_linux.php" style="color:#000000">VPS Hosting shares CPU with other VPS Hosting_linux.php" style="color:#000000">VPS Hosting on the node and only thing that is dedicated for your account is Space and RAM.

If some other customer overloads VPS Hosting_linux.php" style="color:#000000">VPS Hosting on your node then you have to suffer alongwith others on same node. Active monitoring of node is very important in this case as the hosting provider needs to figure out the VPS Hosting_linux.php" style="color:#000000">VPS Hosting that overloads the node and take necessary action against the responsible VPS Hosting.

What are the securities on VPS Hosting?

the good thing about VPS Hosting is that you can test any thing you install on your real website hosting. if you have a high traffic website hosting and you can't afford too much downtime, go with dedicated. if you can afford maybe some technical difficulties once in a while, but you don't have a large budget, go with VPS Hosting

Yep.

what bccruzer has said is right.

Security settings of VPS Hosting needs to be as good as a dedicated server as hackers dont differentiate between VPS Hosting and a dedicated server. You should ask your web hosting provider to take care of security settings. You should ask them to send a detailed report of monthly security checkup if they offer managed VPS Hosting_linux.php" style="color:#000000">virtual private servers.

The monthly security checkup is very much essential as it keeps you regularly updated with the current actitvity of your server.
