| Virtual Server | |
| In internet terms, a virtual server is a remote server that is shared by multiple Web site owners where each owner can use and administer it. Using a virtual server, a company or individual with a Web site can not only have their own domain name and IP address, but can administer their own file directories, add email accounts and addresses, assign multiple domain names that resolve to a basic domain name, manage their own logs and statistics analysis, and maintain passwords. Users of a virtual server, however, do not have to manage the hardware aspects of running a server, which makes it an effective way of sharing the cost of expensive line connections to the Internet. |
