Basics of virtual server
What is a virtual server? You may say that it is a PC which acts like a server for you and your site as in localhost. But before we go further on, let us see the basic things first. A computer network is a group of computers that are connected together to share resources. A standalone home PC is not connected in a network. It cannot share computer resources directly. It is not secured because data on the local hard disk storage is easily accessible by others, unless you lock them securely in a secluded room. A LAN is a group of computers in close proximity that are connected together to share resources. Generally, it consists of at least one Server and many clients PCs. Its network users can communicate to each other via the network resources such as hard-disk space, data files, application programs and laser printer. Network operating System is system software that runs on the server to manage and maintain its users and controls the uses of all network resources.
A Network Administrator is entrusted to control the access rights to all the shared resources. He creates and maintains the network user accounts, and defines users access rights. There can be many other special types of servers connected in a network for users to use. For examples, database serves , World Wide-Web servers, Lotus Notes Work flow servers and Virtual Servers etc.
A computer network allows Centralized Management of their computers, users and resources. The network administrator, for instance, can organize all network users by workgroups, then assign access rights control by groups. The backup of data can also be done in one central location, while the upgrading of shared software can also be much easier. Virtual Servers have the advantage of allowing webmasters to go beyond shared hosting by having full access to a virtual server to install tools & utilities to create their sites. Whether you are a webmaster, developers, technologists, doing businesses or just a consumer, there are several Dedicated Virtual Server Plans which will suit your needs.
