Virtual server is a scalable and highly available server built on a cluster of real physical servers. Also it is referred to as a Virtual Dedicated Server or a Virtual Private Server (VPS). These kinds of virtual servers give you the freedom and flexibility of a physical dedicated server at a fraction of the cost. VPS hosting act differently than shared hosting that have a single file system which is shared by all users of the server, a VPS is more like a dedicated server, it resides in private environment with its own operating system, mail server, web server, and other software instances. VPS plans always give businesses more reliability, higher scalability, and better security of web hosting on enterprise-quality dedicated servers. VPS has a root access to the private server which gives full control on the server. With VPS installing any software or making any OS configuration changes an affordable task.
Business can use a virtual private server (VPS) to host their business websites, or they can use it for a database driven online website like a store. Some businesses are using the virtual private servers (VPS) as mail servers or testing and development platforms. Other business use them for other tasks like reselling web hosting services, web-based CRM, offsite data storage, managed email services, groupware, and much more.
Virtual Servers are one of the popular ways of getting a low cost hosting. Performance of the Virtual Server does not affected by other virtual machines in the same physical server, therefore they acts more like a dedicated server. This is done by partitioning one powerful server into many smaller slices of servers (VPS’s); this make more speed and power with full 'root' access in the Linux VPS server.
From the above we understand that the server runs side by side with a number of others VPS servers on the same physical server. All VPS’s are completely separated from each other; each VPS has its own details to access their own root part of the server. If one server crashes other VPS servers on the physical server will continue working and will not be affected. The advantage of using virtual server also is to choose which operating system to be working on the server.
