Virtual Servers are created by partitioning a physical server into multiple Virtual Servers. This is done in such a way, that the Virtual Servers behave and appear as if they were separate physical machines. Each Virtual Server can have it's own Operating System installed that can be rebooted independently.

Using a virtual machine monitor, such as Citrix Xen, a primary application layer is created onto which the Virtual Servers can be installed. Another layer of multiple guest Operating Systems can then be installed on each virtual server.

Virtual Servers fill the gap between Shared Hosting & Dedicated Servers, whereby the user has the benefits of their own server with dedicated resources, without the extra cost of renting an entire physical machine.

RSAWEB supports many of the popular guest Operating Systems such as: Windows, Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0, Fedora Core 8, CentOS 5, SUSE Open Linux 10.3 & Ubuntu.
