What is the difference between a Virtual Server and a Dedicated Server?
In a nutshell, a Virtual Server account resides on a computer that also houses other Virtual Server accounts, whereas the Dedicated Server is all yours. With a Virtual Server the computer’s hardware resources and associated bandwidth are shared among multiple sites. A Virtual Server is an excellent solution for small to medium sized businesses that want to create a powerful Internet presence. A Dedicated Server is an industrial-strength system of hardware, operating system software, and web server software which you control and to which you have exclusive access. All of the server's powerful resources and bandwidth are allocated entirely to your Internet site, enabling you to offer features and service levels to your customers, employees, and suppliers that go beyond the standard capabilities of a Virtual Server.
