Are Virtual Private Servers Secure?

If you are a server administrator or you host multiple virtual servers you will definitely be concerned about the security of your servers. It is therefore important to know exactly how secure virtual private servers are. In VPS hosting, a physical server is compartmentalized to create multiple virtual servers. Each of these functions independently and run its own version of an operating system. So, you can actually run a Windows server from within a Linux set-up. In VPS, the virtual servers will tap into the hardware directly and there is no need for additional processing power. Users have root access to the virtual servers and are free to reboot them or configure their settings to suit their interests. Even when the operating system crashes inside a virtual server or gets disrupted for some reason, the other VPS servers function normally. Every container is given a specific amount of memory and processing power or CPU power and even if that gets exhausted because of some technical problem, the remaining server keeps functioning optimally. So, the virtual private servers are actually very secure.
