What is the difference between servers and virtual hosts? Many novices are not very clear about this. In order to help you solve this problem, the following small series will explain it in detail for everyone. Those who have this need can come to learn. I hope you can gain something.

A standalone server is a separate physical server that runs only its own data content and enjoys the software and hardware of this server. Virtual hosting, also known as "website space," is to divide a server running on the Internet into multiple "virtual" servers, each with an independent domain name and complete Internet server functions.

1. Different number of storage sites

Virtual hosting is shared hosting, your website will be stored on the same host as other users 'websites, and the specific number of sites is planned and limited by the provider according to hardware equipment. Standalone server is a dedicated server, only you a user's site stored on this server, with exclusive rights.

2. Bandwidth or disk space differences

Choose to rent virtual hosts, then you will share disk space and bandwidth with other sites, which will be subject to certain restrictions. If you choose to rent an independent server, all resources on this server will be exclusively enjoyed by your site and will not be affected by other sites.

3. Performance and response time vary

Sites on virtual hosts compete for traffic and bandwidth resources, resulting in latency in response time and load time. Standalone servers have higher performance and faster response times.

4. The costs are different.

Virtual hosts are shared, multiple sites share a host, and users of multiple sites share the cost of this host. Therefore, the cost of renting a virtual host is low. And independent server is enjoyed exclusively by the site, so the cost borne is also relatively high.
