What is virtual server?

[Dazzy Hayden]

Hello,
A virtual server is a server (computer and various server programs) at someone else's location that is shared by multiple Web site owners so that each owner can use and administer it as though they had complete control of the server.

What is a Virtual Private Server?

A Virtual Private Server is created by partitioning the physical server into multiple mini servers, made possible by the technology of Server Virtualization. The term Virtual Server is widely used by Internet hosting services and it is often used to refer a Virtual Machine. A Virtual Private Server VPS works in a federated environment used by other virtual machines. But in all aspects the functionality is equivalent to that of an environment created by a physical computer dedicated to individual customer needs. It offers the same privacy, which is seen in separate physical computer environment, configured to run server software. Virtual Private Servers are also known with the synonyms Virtual Root Server VRS and Virtual Dedicated Server VDS.
Cost effective way of transposing a Physical server into a system, which houses multiple operating systems paves way for Virtual Server environment. Each Virtual Server allows its users to utilize or create applications and handle the traffic, like a normal server.
Many Web hosting companies use virtual servers for their clients, as they can offer a viable and a cost-efficient service, through it. As Virtual Servers doesn’t use the entire resources on its host computer, they can be dedicated for individual client server applications. Since, the web hosting company hosts small virtual servers on a single physical server, the cost of web hosting can be achieved at lower costs. Moreover, there will be no change in the working and services offered by the websites, which are hosted on virtual servers. As they get the same effect of being hosted on dedicated servers.
Under normal circumstances, numerous websites can operate on each of the Virtual Private Servers, which are operated on the host machine. However, if in case, a single virtual server starts to hog a lot of resources of the host computer, then it can cause poor loading of web pages and other such service lagging issues. In this situation, a dedicated server is the only solution, offered by web hosting service, in order to deal with enormous traffic and work as per the needs.
Most people are clueless about the virtual servers hosting and how they actually work on the shared environment. It is a known fact that thousand and more number of users tend to use a server at a time. In such circumstances, each user is allocated with a designated amount of disk space, bandwidth, CPU allocation, memory and Operating System, which can be used on the server. All the Virtual Private Server users share the same CPU and RAM and think that, they have dedicated set of hardware. Virtual Server software is loaded onto the physical system and from then, a virtual server is ready to be used.
