It's a virtual computer

It indeed is a virtual computer but it's used as a server to run things on like a Retro for example or a Minecraft server for example that's why a virtual computer has a other ip then a normal computer because then otherwise you aren't able to connect to it etc.

Yes I understand that its a virtual server but what can you actually do? Create a Server with IIS And build a site? Would that explain in a different term for her?.

Plus what would be the best suitable site for a 1-2GB RAM Site for my coding
Cheers Bro.

On a Virtual private server you can indeed do such things as making a website and hosting websites any many other things.

Let's say that it's making something on a virtual computer hopefully that's easy enough.

Here's another handy link:






es they are handy for coding and even op IIS 2 gb ram is better.

In the simplest terms ever;

It's used for gaming servers, storage, and much more. It's technically a 24/7 computer, which you'll never shut down before you get off. You're not responsible for hardware failures, etc. It's managed by a Data Center and your VPS provider. It's the same as running a Windows computer. You can use them for whatever you wish. You get the abbreviation "VPS" with "Virtual Private Server" because it's all online, hence "Virtual."

I'd still be preferring you to check out Nodecabin their virtual private servers are very reliable and they aren't that pricy.

Yes, because it could host your site 24/7. But you'd really lean towards a VPS for a site that requires loads of space. Mainly web hosting is there for sites that require 1-10GB disk space. But if you want it on a VPS, go ahead.

A good site you can look into is:



If you look at other sites, you're looking at $30+ for 2GB RAM.

No chance for profit, no one would buy a habboskin imo but stop double posting, edit your last post or wait till someone posts.
