A virtual private server is a dedicated or a full server divided into many. If a full server has 8gb of ram and if its divided into 8 each virtual private server will have around 1gb ram (Do note that the virtual private server will not have the full 1 gb ram as some memory is required for the partionining software).
A virtual private server costs more than a shared hosting but costs lesser than a dedicated server. Virtual private servers sold by vendors can be classified into two types managed, unmanaged. When You buy a managed server whatever configuration changes and os reinstalls will be done by the vendor. With unmamanaged servers, You are responsible for all changes. If You are new to virtual private servers I strongly recommend choosing a managed service. The cost difference is not really significant and will save You time and effort when something is required.
Usually a virtual private server has a control panel like cpanel which help managing the server easily. This usually costs extra and makes the job of managing servers a breeze.
