Setting up a VDS server

What is VDS (dedicated server) and why is it needed?

VDS (or dedicated server) is a computer on the Internet that works 24/7 . There are several advantages of such a computer:
1) It does not take up physical space, that is, it does not stand in your room and does not get in the way under your feet.
2) It works around the clock and you can use it at any time!
3) You do not have to pay for the light for its use.
4) It can be used from a phone or tablet.

Why do we need VDS?

Imagine that you have a program that needs to run around the clock . Of course, you can put it on your home computer and not turn it off. But, the solution is so-so ... Or you don’t have a PC at all, but there is a desire to use this very program.
For these needs, there is VDS - a computer on the Internet that works around the clock. And on which you can install any program that should work even during the day, even at night. It doesn't matter where you are: at home, on a walk, at work...
