What is a Virtual Private Server (VPS), and what can I do with it?

A Virtual Private Server is basically a dedicated server that has been divided up to a small amount (6-12 is typical) of users. These users are given their own completely independent Virtual Environments (VE) on the server. Each one of these virtual environments has specific dedicated allocations of resources: memory, disk space, computing power, complete file systems, user management... they act as completely separate entities, though they share the same physical server.
