Virtual private server and VPS Hosting showcase

A virtual private server provides the features of a dedicated server on a machine that is shared by other Web hosting customers. Customers therefore get hosting services that are similar to that of dedicated Web hosting without sacrificing privacy or performance.

Virtual Private Servers are based on the concept of partitions on mainframes that allow dozens of divisions to run multiple applications on the same server with advanced resource scheduling. In other words, VPS behaves exactly like an isolated stand-alone server that guarantees share of server resources, including CPU, memory and bandwidth. Applications are not shared across private servers which means that you can run different combinations of applications and even different versions of applications even if they are on the same physical server.

Rank	Company	Short Description
1		Liquidweb, known for its quality managed dedicated servers, now offers managed Virtual Dedicated Servers. Understandably, their price is slightly higher than the unmanaged services. But if you are looking for a good managed VPS, liquid web is possibly the best option you have. One major advatage with Liquidweb VPS is that they offer cpanel instead of Plesk.
2		Lunarpages is one of the reputed shared web host. They offer just one plan for VPS, which must be good enough for a medium traffic website. At $39.95 per month(paid yearly), they are in line with the industry standard. They do not mention the RAM assured on the websites, but it is known that maximum 512 mb ram will be available on the VPS.
3		Startlogic VPS servers are affordable and supported by their Tier 1 network. Best part about Startlogic is the price. At $29.95, it is one of the cheapest VPS available from a reliable company. Their basic plan comes with 20 GB space and 1,000 GB bandwidth, which is more than what you will get with a mid-level VPS from most companies. VPS comes self managed, as the case with most VPS providers. If you need managed VPS, you may have to take a look at Liquidweb.
