Thus resources are modified and arranged in such a way that each hosting client is allowed to exploit an allocated percent, means the resources assigned to a particular user will always be there all time ready to serve. Majority of users prefer complete command of their server environments and do not wish to share the server with other users, who could easily exploit all the available resources and can cause problem.

With the resources setup in such a way that each person can only use what is in their share, ones site will be steadier because it will always have the same amount of access to the CPU, memory, as well as to the bandwidth. Virtual Private Servers are preferably safer since even as the user share the memory and CPU time, they are allocated with their own file system.
