A VPS is a virtual computer you rent to host a site or an app, with its own RAM, CPU and a root login. A VPN is a privacy tunnel that encrypts traffic leaving your phone or laptop and hides the IP address. The names share three letters. One hosts software. The other protects a connection.
What a VPS is for
A VPS is a virtual machine with reserved RAM, CPU and disk. You put a website, an app, a database or a mail stack on it. You log in as root and install the software that stack needs. The machine stays online in a data centre while your laptop is off.
- Own operating system, usually Linux.
- Own IP address.
- A slice that stays reserved when a neighbour gets busy.
What a VPN is for
A VPN is an encrypted path from your phone or laptop to a remote gateway. Sites you open see the gateway IP, and a person on cafe Wi-Fi sees scrambled packets. The app does not store your shop and does not give you a place to install a website.
