VirtualServer
General > The workings of VirtualServer and virtualisation

VirtualServer is the ideal combination of a large web hosting package and a dedicated server. Whereas a full dedicated server is often expensive and not necessary in most cases, but a shared web hosting package is not flexible enough when it comes to disk space and technical infrastructure, VirtualServer is the perfect alternative. And most of all: it comes with great features at the most affordable prices.

You will get a perfectly separated spot on a very powerful server, with predefined memory and processing limits and guarantees. Even if there are multiple users on the same server you will not get any interference of them, because they are on another separated virtual machine. This is a big difference with shared web hosting, and it will give you a clear advantage when it comes to speed and performance.

PriorWeb uses OpenVZ to accomplish the virtualisation used for VirtualServer.
