VDS/VPS is a virtual dedicated server. It combines all the benefits of a dedicated server and the flexibility of virtual hosting. If you have a large project with high traffic, then hosting it on free hosting can lead to problems with the availability of the website. This also applies to cheap mass hosting. VDS/VPS is suitable for major projects and support of a large number of websites on one server. The ability to configure your software and operating system are the main advantages of VDS.
