Virtual hosting
Virtual hosting a server that stores more than one Website on its hard disk and
offers them to users on the Internet is said to be a virtual hosting service pro-vider.
Virtual hosting is the opposite of dedicated hosting. This is an arrange-ment
where a single Website is stored on a single server and does not have to
share space with other sites. Problems do not usually arise unless a site being
hosted by the virtual server begins to pick up a significant amount of new
traffic. This can slow access to all pages hosted there. Offering Web pages
using virtual hosting is far less expensive than using a dedicated service.
