A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual machine that runs on physical hardware but is fully isolated from other virtual machines. Unlike shared hosting, with a VPS you get guaranteed resources — dedicated CPU, RAM and disk space.
How does VPS hosting work?
A physical server is divided into multiple virtual machines using a hypervisor such as KVM or Proxmox. Each virtual machine runs independently with its own operating system, resources and full root access.
At VPSStorages, our VPS hosting in Bulgaria runs on Proxmox/KVM infrastructure with NVMe drives and ZFS storage for maximum reliability.
VPS vs shared hosting
- Shared hosting — many websites on one server, shared resources, limited control
- VPS hosting — isolated resources, full root access, better performance
- Dedicated server — the entire physical server for you, highest cost
Who should use a VPS?
A VPS is the right choice when:
- Your website is growing and shared hosting is no longer enough
- You need full control over the server environment
- You run WordPress, WooCommerce or more complex applications
- You have bots, API services or background processes
- You want a stable environment for testing and development

What is NAT VPS?
All our VPS plans run behind NAT (Network Address Translation) — a shared IP without a dedicated public IPv4. This keeps costs lower and is fully suitable for websites, applications and backups.
Conclusion
VPS hosting is the natural next step after shared hosting — more control, better performance and isolated resources at an affordable price. If your project is growing or has specific requirements, a VPS is the right solution.
