What is the difference between a server and a virtual host? I believe that many inexperienced people are at a loss about this, so this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

The server can be divided into multiple virtual hosts, which have some server functions, but can not be used as servers. The server can achieve all kinds of complex requirements, and the function that the virtual host can undertake is relatively simple.

1. Conceptual differences

The server provides computing or application services for other clients (such as PCs, smartphones, ATM terminals and even large devices such as train systems) in the network. It has high-speed CPU computing ability, long-time reliable operation, strong external data throughput and better expansibility. According to the services provided by the server, generally speaking, the server has the ability to respond to service requests, undertake services, and guarantee services. As an electronic device, the internal structure of the server is very complex, but it is not much different from the ordinary computer internal structure, such as: cpu, hard disk, memory, system, system bus and so on.

A virtual host, also known as "website space", is to divide a physical server running on the Internet into multiple "virtual" servers. Virtual host technology has greatly promoted the application and popularization of network technology. At the same time, the rental service of virtual host has also become a new economic form in the network era. One or all of the service contents of a server are logically divided into multiple service units, which are represented as multiple "virtual" servers, so as to make full use of the server hardware resources.

Conceptually, we can see that the two are very different, the server is a complete existence, and the virtual host is a part of the carrier divided from the server.

2. Functional differences

Server, can undertake all kinds of applications, such as web services, build applications for development, etc.; virtual hosts, generally can only achieve part of the server functions, mainly in the field of web services.

After reading the above, have you mastered how the server is different from the virtual host? If you want to learn more skills or want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel, thank you for reading!
