A VPS is indeed a Virtual Private Server, you're allocated resources on the machine and they're soley yours and no one else's; additionally you get a HEFTY ammount of bandwidth, and a lot of services are under $50/mo. I myself have several clients at www.webintellects.com and even some of the boardies here use them (Allen for instance).

I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral. I have provided free User to User Support since the beginning of these support forums.
