Definition
A virtual private server rented from a hosting provider.
Real-world example
A 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM VPS from Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or Linode runs Better-PaaS plus several small web apps for under $10–20/month.
Common mistake
Choosing the smallest disk (20 GB) and filling it with Docker images, logs, and database files within weeks.
Better-PaaS in practice
Better-PaaS targets single-server deployments first. Monitor disk with df -h and prune unused images periodically.
FAQ
Is VPS only relevant to Better-PaaS?
No. VPS appears across Docker, cloud platforms, and self-hosted tooling. Better-PaaS exposes the concept in deploy logs, dashboard fields, or docs when it affects your app.
