Detailed guide explaining what virtual hosting is.
Virtual reseller hosting offers the appearance of a company's own
server but the technical aspects of space sharing. Through virtual
hosting, a developer can secure space on a server and have shared access
to the server's features. Hosting companies provide this service by
maintaining a large server and on that large server they maintain a
number of virtual web hosts. The machine examines which "name" it is
being called by and then responds appropriately. Thus, visitors to the
site enter through the domain name of the developer and therefore cannot
recognize that another company's server in fact, hosts the site.
Simply stated by Crowder and Crowder (2000), virtual servers are
"nothing more than directories on a hard drive. The webmaster can make
each one of the directories seem as though it were a fully functional
web server". With a virtual web host, you will have your own identity,
but you will not be required to maintain the equipment.
Virtual hosting packages are the most common on the Internet and
offer a professional and well-established look for personal and small
business web sites. Financially, the average virtual hosting account
runs between $15 and $30 per month. Ample space and bandwidth for small
businesses, multiple email accounts, cgi-bin access, and a T3 connection
are common account features. Additional fees are often required for
more advanced features including database software or SSL (secure
server) functionality
