When one physical server is divided into several small servers, then the 'small servers' are called virtual servers.
The advantage is that you just pay for a 'piece' of a server and still have complete freedom and own your own (virtual) server.
The virtual server is completely separate from the other virtual servers. There are three packages with different 'hardware' specifications: Basic, Deluxe and Premium. In terms of software you do have more freedom: you can run virtually any operating system and precisely configure and install what you want.
An additional advantage is that a virtual server can easily be 'picked up' and be run on another physical server. It is even possible to make a copy and use it as a test environment (at home). Wat betreft flexibiliteit en uitwijk mogelijkheden biedt een virtuele server u dus ook veel meer dan een fysieke server. Tel daar het prijsvoordeel bij op en u begrijpt waarom virtualisatie zo Hot is!
We prefer using the word 'VMs' (Virtual Machines) instead of VPS because it is often mentioned as a cheaper interim solution where you don't have all freedom in terms of operating system and software. Gigaweb does provide real VMs that are based on Citrix XenServer.
Gigaweb is a certified Citrix Silver Solution Provider for XenServer.
