Also called an IPP. In order to establish a full-time presence on the internet, one needs to have computers that are connected continuously to the Internet. Special hardware and software are needed as well as constant maintenance of a full-time high speed connection to the internet. A virtual host provides services to relieve its hosted customers from the burden of dedicating costly hardware/software and valuable human resources to its web presence effort. Because the electronic frontage (or website) actually resides on the IPP's computers, and not that of the entity, it's virtual. This is where the name "virtual host" comes from.
a configuration enabling a single host machine to resemble multiple host machines
a domain pointing to a subdirectory of your virtual server
an additional domain which is hosted on your server
an internet host which is served by a webserver of a different name
a real host that is from a real unix box
a server that responds to different names
a specific domain name to which the FlashCom server responds
Virtual hosts are sub accounts that you can create through your VDS Manager. When you create a virtual host, you are essentially pointing a domain name to a sub-directory on your account. While they behave much like separate websites and can be set up with separate FTP access, virtual host accounts do not have their own VDS Managers and are not designed to support ValueApps. Virtual Hosts are available on the... J1-VDS, J2-VDS, J3-VDS, J4-VDS, J5-VDS and JRP Reseller Plan.
A domain that shares an IP number with its official domain, and possibly with other virtual hosts. It is a hostname bound to the IP number but subservient to the main host.
Also called an IPP (Internet presence provider). In order to establish a full-time presence on the Internet, one needs to have computers that are connected continuously to the Internet. Special hardware and software are needed, as well as constant maintenance of a full-time high-speed connection to the Internet. Virtual hosting is the provision of Web server hosting services so that a company (or individual) doesn't have to purchase and maintain its own Web server and connections to the Internet. Because the electronic frontage (or Web site) actually resides on the IPP's computers, and not that of the entity, it is virtual. Hence the name.
A shared hosting solution, the most basic of hosting types. Numerous Web sites are shared on one server.
It is the most basic type of hosting. Numerous Web sites are shared on one server is called shared web hosting. So virtual host is a shared hosting solution.
Services that act as a host for other services. For example, a virtual host can represent an application server that acts as a host for web applications.
Refers to the practice of maintaining more than one server on one machine, differentiated by their apparent host name. (Back to the top)
One of several host names that you can define for a single IP address in the domain name server. That IP address can then serve multiple files, rather than requiring different IP addresses for different files.
When an Internet server hosts more than one Domain name, the additional names are called Virtual Hosts.
A Web site that includes a customized Domain Name and unique IP address to your home page, giving the appearance that you have your own server directly connected to the Internet.
A domain that shares a host with other domains.
A computer which can be forced to respond to multiple IP addresses and provide various services (typically different Web services) on each. Each of these IP addresess (which usually each have their own hostname) operate as if they were separate hosts on separate machines, although they are really all the same host. Therefore, they are called "virtual" hosts. An example of virtual hosting is when an Internet Service Provider "hosts" World-Wide Web and other services for several customers on the same computer but gives the appearence that each of these services use separate servers.
A host that represents services that act as a host for other services.
