Virtualization
The technology that creates virtual servers on a single physical server, enabling VPS hosting, cloud hosting, and scalability.
Virtualization is the technology that allows one physical server to be divided into multiple independent virtual machines, each functioning as a separate server with its own operating system and resources. This revolutionary approach transformed web hosting by enabling providers to maximise hardware efficiency while delivering isolated, secure environments to multiple customers. Through hypervisor software, virtualisation creates a layer between the physical hardware and virtual instances, managing resource allocation and ensuring each virtual machine operates independently. This technology powers VPS hosting, cloud hosting platforms, and modern data centre infrastructure. It enables rapid provisioning of new servers, easy scaling of resources, efficient hardware utilisation, and improved disaster recovery through snapshots and migrations. For hosting customers, virtualisation means access to dedicated resources and server-like control at a fraction of the cost of physical dedicated servers, while providers benefit from operational efficiency and the ability to offer flexible, scalable hosting solutions.
