What is the difference between a virtual host and a virtual machine? In view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and answers in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible way.

The virtual host is the "virtual space" divided from the server; the virtual machine is a complete computer system with complete hardware system function and running in a completely isolated environment simulated by software.

Virtual host is a kind of server space, while virtual machine is a kind of system software. There is a fundamental difference between the two.

Virtual host role:

Virtual hosts provide space services, through which we can build websites, storage platforms, application platforms, etc., and can be published on the Internet for all users to access.

Virtual host role:

Virtual machine, can achieve all kinds of testing for users, in the virtual machine using different systems, software, etc., will not affect the operation of the physical machine.

Virtual hosting benefits:

The virtual host can maximize the use of server resources and bring good news to the webmasters of small and medium-sized websites. Webmasters can rely on virtual hosts to build websites quickly and cheaply.

Virtual machine benefits:

The crash or failure of the system in the virtual machine will not affect the operation of the physical machine; it can be used to test the latest version of the application software or operating system, even if the application software with a Trojan horse is installed. Because the virtual machine and the physical machine are completely isolated, the virtual machine will not leak any data in the physical machine.

This is the answer to any questions about the difference between a virtual host and a virtual machine. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel for more related knowledge.
