Description

A virtual server is a partitioned part of a physical server. Most “servers” online are virtual servers. They often are given a dedicated amount of physical server resources to utilize (such as RAM, CPU, Storage space).

Users can rent virtual servers for a fraction of the cost of a physical server. This is because hosting companies typically own or rent the physical server for a wholesale price, then profit off of selling parts of the physical machine at a time to users with smaller audiences.
