A virtual machine and VPS are different.

Because many newbies can't understand the explanations of technical terms,
So today I use "renting" as an example to make it more understandable.
Virtual servers are like shared apartments for groups, VPS is like independent flats.
Both virtual servers and VPS are called website servers, while your own data is there.
Different server suppliers serve different landlords.
Shared apartments (virtual servers) are cheaper but everyone shares the toilet, kitchen, and living room (CPU, memory, and network bandwidth).
Independent flats (VPS) are more expensive, but you have your own toilet, kitchen, and living room.
The basic hardware in shared apartments are already prepared by the landlord before.
And independent flats allow you to adjust and upgrade the hardware yourself.
