The Microsoft virtual machine solution for servers. Virtual Server enables multiple server operating systems to run simultaneously on a single physical computer, each in its own isolated software partition. Throughout the documentation, Virtual Server refers to both Virtual Server 2005, Standard Edition and Virtual Server 2005, Enterprise Edition. See also: virtual machine; Virtual PC
A computer with several IP addresses assigned to the network adapter card. This configuration makes the computer look like several servers to a browser.

Any one of multiple Web sites running on the same server, each having a unique domain name and IP address. Servers supporting virtual servers are called multi-hosting servers.
Not a dedicated server. This server shares the same machine as other servers, but has it's own IP address and permissions.
This is a web server that often hosts thousands of websites simultaneously. The price of virtual hosting can be as low as a couple of pounds per month.
Directory on a server that has its own Net address and appears as a stand-alone server to outside users.
a cluster group that contains a unique network name, IP address, and disk resources)
a cluster resource group containing an IP address and a network name
a combination of the network name and the IP address resources
a compromise between a dedicated server and a traditional hosting account
a domain name that sits on someone else's server, but looks as if it is on it's own web server
a hardware whose resources are shared among many customers
a highly scalable and highly available server built on a cluster of real servers
an environment where each machine houses many websites
an extremely cost effective way of storing your information, providing fast access to your Web Site - without the capital expenditure involved in purchasing your own server
a package for web developers, designers, resellers and entrepreneurs who want to host multiple web sites with domain names and provide FTP access with email services
a semi-real server environment within a real, physical server that comes with all the tools you are used to having, a generous amount of server resources, root access and total control - all at a fraction of the price of a real server
a shared environment where many servers reside on each particular machine
a system in which a single machine will resolve multiple IP addresses
a technique used to partition a dedicated web server into subdirectories each of which is mapped to a unique domain name (such as mydomain
a virtual IP address that points to a group of servers
a virtual machine used as VMware is the global leader in virtualization software providing desktop and server virtualization products for virtual infrastructure solutions
a way of breaking up the Web server structure, giving you finer control over settings for particular groups of Web sites
a web server with a logically-partitioned space in a network-connected computer
a website which is hosted on a physical Magma server along with many other websites
In Windows: In a server cluster, a collection of services that appear to clients as a physical Windows-based server but are not associated with a specific server. A virtual server is typically a resource group that contains all of the resources needed to run a particular application and that can be failed over like any other resource group. All virtual servers must include a Network Name resource and an IP Address resource. In IIS: See Web site. to top WAM See Web Application Manager (WAM).
A method of hosting multiple domains on one computer.
A specific combination of software and disk space on a "Host" / "Server" that will serve your information on the WWW using your domain name.
One server may, in some cases, serve more than one web site. Summary looks at the name of the server, either from the name that the user typed into the request or through the IP address which recieved the request and calls that name a virtual server. In some cases these will refer to actual (as opossed to virtual) servers.
A Web server that shares computer resources with other virtual servers on a single machine. Virtual Web servers are a way of providing low-cost Web hosting services. Instead of requiring a separate computer for each server, dozens of virtual servers can co-reside on the same computer. This allows a single machine to act as many separate systems.
In a server cluster, a set of resources, including a Network Name resource and an IP address resource, that is contained by a resource group. To clients, a virtual server presents the appearance of a system that is running Windows NT Server or Windows 2000 Server.
When you are supporting multiple domains with a single server program, each domain is said to have a virtual server. Summary version 1.x referred to Virtual Domains as Virtual Servers.
A named select method. Since a select method defines all there is to know about connecting to a (physical) server, taking the thing as a whole is a virtual server.
Multiple servers that appear as one server. A Web server that supports virtual servers is called a multi-hosting Web server.
Web server that hosts a number of sites simultaneously, each with a unique domain name and IP address.
Part of a system which is capable of hosting multiple IP addresses. This system allows a single machine to act as many separate 'virtual' systems. RnR Services has defined its Virtual Server System to maximize customer use, control, and design of their own web site. This is quite unlike 'Virtual Hosting', such as Apache and others, which merely spoofs the domain name of a company to point to a subdirectory of a server controlled by the hosting service.
A Web site which has its own server name, even though in fact it is just an area on a larger server.
A virtual server is actually a small section of hard drive of a real server. It is set up in such a way as to allow the user of the virtual server to manage it like a real server without having to purchase a server. A person browsing the web has no way of knowing the site is running from a virtual server, so the server appears to be a dedicated server.
Virtual servers are a way of setting up multiple domain names, IP addresses, and server monitoring capabilities with a single installed server.
A directory on a server that has its own Internet address and appears as a standalone server to outside users. WYZ
One of multiple Web sites running on the same server, each with a unique domain name and IP address. A Web server that supports virtual servers is called a multi-hosting Web server.
A virtual computer that resides on an HTTP server but appears to the user as a separate HTTP server. Several virtual servers can reside on one computer, each capable of running its own programs and each with individualized access to input and peripheral devices. Each virtual server can have its own domain name and IP address.
An account on a hosting company server, usually linked to its own domain. This provides an inexpensive way to run a web site with its own top level domain, and is usually indistinguishable from having a separate physical server, except that the virtual server may share an IP address with other virtual servers on the same machine. A virtual server account is fine for most uses, but will often be slower to respond than a physically separate server, and physical access to the machine will seldom be allowed. The cost of a virtual server account is a small fraction of that needed to run a real server, mainly because of the expense of the dedicated line needed to connect the server continuously to the rest of the net.
A virtual server is a device that performs Internet protocol (IP) mapping. IP mapping allows remote client access to your network via the Internet.
A UNIX based server environment which allows multiple independent servers to operate on the same hardware (as opposed to dedicated or shared servers).
