A virtual host service allows you to host more than one website off a single machine. The physical web host server can distribute its resources such as disk space and memory among the multiple websites running off of its system. Each virtual server (for each website) runs independently, and one server going down will not affect the performance of other servers.
The physical server is able to split its resources using something called a hypervisor, which can interpret and translate web service requests for the virtual server that needs it. This enables server virtualization, which allows you to keep costs to a reasonable level while still having full root-level access to aspects of your server. Virtual web hosting is cost-efficient, reliable, flexible, and easy to migrate if necessary.
