will have their own guaranteed resources (RAM, CPU), which will remain unaffected by other users on
the system.


The SMEs segment is expected to grow at CAGR of over 18% over the forecast period due to the increase
in the adoption of virtualization technology. The availability of limited resources for maintaining the
dedicated physical servers is enabling SMEs to shift toward VPS. The VPS helps SMEs to have a
dedicated virtual server with a per pay-as-you-use model, which allows them to pay for the resources as
per their requirements only. The VPS also helps in eliminating the space required for the physical server,
which will reduce the cost of the excessive space required for bulky servers.


The IT & telecom sector is expected to hold a virtual private server market share of over 25% in 2025
due to the growing demand for secured virtualized infrastructure. The increase in the number of online
cyberattacks is prompting IT & telecom companies to deploy secured servers. The VPS ensures better
privacy and security for enterprises’ files. The servers running in an isolated environment are protected
from stability and security issues related to the other systems in shared server models.


The Asia Pacific virtual private server market is projected to exhibit a growth rate of over 20% during the
forecast period due to an increase in government support for virtualized data centers in developing
countries such as India and China. For instance, in May 2018, National Informatics Centre (NIC), a
premier science and technology organization of Government of India, launched a National Data Centre
in Bhubaneshwar to offer uninterrupted secure hosting for various e-governance applications. This new
data center helped in extending government support for 35,000 virtual servers.


The VPS service providers are partnering with cloud service providers to enhance their virtualization
capabilities and sustain in the virtual private server market competition. For instance, in June 2019,
GoDaddy, a leading VPS hosting service provider, partnered with Amazon Lightsail, Amazon’s cloud
platform, to simplify WordPress virtual server management. This partnership helped WordPress
customers in easily managing their server instances for free. The key players operating in the VPS market
are Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, Digitalocean, DreamHost, United Internet AG, A2 Hosting,
Linode, Inmotion Hosting, Plesk International, Tektonic, Vultr Holdings Corporation, GoDaddy, Liquid
Web, OVH Group, Endurance International Group, Kamatera, Inc., Bluehost, Savari Technologies Pvt.
Ltd., and cPanel, LLC.
