What is VPS Hosting and Why Choose It for South African Projects?
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtualised server that provides dedicated resources within a shared physical infrastructure. Unlike shared hosting where CPU, RAM, and storage are distributed among all users, VPS hosting guarantees exclusive allocation of resources specifically for your applications.
For South African businesses, VPS hosting South Africa offers the perfect balance between performance and cost. You get the isolation and control of a dedicated server with predictable performance, ideal for growing websites, applications, and business-critical workloads that require consistent resources.
