A virtual server is a method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers that are run on multiple operating systems within the same machine but are isolated from each other. The physical server boots normally and then runs a program to boot each virtual server within a virtualization environment. The virtual server is usually booted from a disk image because it has no direct access to hardware. Access to the hardware such as RAM, CPU and disk space is managed by the host server.
If you need the flexibility of a dedicated server but have a small budget to work with, then virtual server hosting can be the solution to your problem. Virtual server hosting bridges the gap between entry level web hosting that offers specific services with a limited amount of disk space on a shared server and co-location. Co-location is where you own and manage the hardware and rent 'rack space' and an Internet connection from a data center and requires huge financial commitments. A virtual server on the other hand, provides you with having the flexibility of having full control over your own server but at a price that anyone can afford.
ADVANTAGES OF A VIRTUAL SERVER

You can host other services such as an FTP or mail server.

You can allow a virtual server to deliberately run software with known security flaws without endangering the rest of the server.
