Or three. ;) Thanks for that Anthony – I’m sure I will have other questions alright, as to why I’d need complete control over my server, what a website is and how I can make one and what colour the wind is, Daddy, but they can wait for a pint.

For me, it's like the difference between taking the bus (shared hosting) and owning a car (VPS). With the bus, it works most of the time and if it breaks down, Dublin Bus will fix it. However if I own a car, I can tweak the engine, add alloys etc but when it breaks down, I have to sort out fixing it. I switched because I like having control over the complete working of my site. There's been a little bit of a learning curve for me with it but I now feel comfortable making changes etc. Let me know if you have any other questions.

To a complete (and I mean COMPLETE) newbie what does it mean? Why is it better than other hosting? Why would you need it? I know I could ask Blacknight but sure I'm here now! ;-) I’ve seen this VPS thing being advertised. To a complete (and I mean COMPLETE) newbie what does it mean? Why is it better than other hosting?
