# Virtual private servers (VPS)
11+
Virtual private servers (VPSs) are sandboxed slices of hardware run with a
12+
hypervisor running on top of a physical server. Virtualization software
13+
such as [Xen](http://www.xenproject.org/) and
14+
[VMWare](http://www.vmware.com/virtualization) allow a providers'
15+
customers to use fractions of a full server that appear as their own
16+
independent instances. For example, a server with an 8-core processor
17+
and 16 gigabytes of memory can be roughly virtualized into 8 pieces with
18+
the equivalent of 1-core and 2 gigabytes of memory.
19+
20+
The primary disadvantage of virtualized servers is that there is resource
21+
overhead in the virtualization process. But for our web application
22+
deployment, a single well-configured virtual private server provides
23+
more than enough performance and represents a huge cost savings over
24+
purchasing dedicated hardware.
