Is a VPS a virtual machine?

VPS is virtual technology which is used to split one physical server into multiple virtual servers. VPS gives you freedom like dedicated server. Virtual layer installed on server by host provider separates your resources on the server from other users on that server, giving you a safe environment to host your website or application.

A virtual private server (VPS) is a physical server divided into multiple smaller virtual servers with a single operating system. A VMware Virtual Machine, on the other hand, partitions the server fully, with each partition running its own operating system and resources.
