Along with these features VPS also provides with many facilities to its clients that are very similar to dedicated web hosting and even at times it cannot be judged just by looking at the website speeds that is it a dedicated or virtual private server that the website is hosted on.

The full control in the case of virtual private server is provided virtually to the client. If another client making use of same server gains surprisingly high traffic on his website, it will also adversely affect the working of our website by decreasing its loading speed and other issues.

The physical hardware resources present on the virtual private server are shared amongst different clients, it may also lead to improper and slow working of the website hosted on the server. The VPS clients are not able to use the maximum amount of RAM and disk storage space available on the server.
