A   <strong>Virtual Server</strong>&nbsp; is a term used by&nbsp;internet hosting companies &nbsp;to refer to a&nbsp;virtual machine. The term is used for highlighting that the virtual machine, although running within software on the very same physical computer as other customers' virtual machines, is functionally equivalent to a completely separate physical computer, is also dedicated to the individual customer's needs, it has the privacy of a separate physical computer, and it can be configured to run as a&nbsp;server&nbsp;computer and run server software.&nbsp;
