what is virtual server and how can we use it.?

Virtual servers allow you to partition a physical server.  Instead of running a single operating system, you can run multiple operating systems at the same time.  Mainframe computers have been able to do this for years.  \n\nThe reasons you might want to do it include requirements of a specific piece of software you have to run (maybe a billing system that only runs on a LINUX/Unix kernal, or an older application incompatible with newer OSs), a need to simulate another environement for testing (maybe you have a virtual e mail server, virtual workstation, and virtual web server all together), and others.  It really just depends on your specific need.\n\nThat said, it does not get you the horsepower you would get out of having another real physical server.  You're simply dividing up some of the CPU cycles, Memory, HD space, etc among the different processes.

Go to any web company that offers Virtual Dedicated Servers.  So for example, Rackforce, Rackspace, Verio, etc.  Just do a web search, and you'll find some good prices out there.  The cost has really dropped in line with the dropping price of storage...

In computing, virtualization involves the process of presenting computing resources in ways that users and applications can easily get value out of them, rather than presenting them in a way dictated by their implementation, geographic location, or physical packaging. In other words, it provides a logical rather than physical view of data, computing power, storage capacity, and other resources.

With Linux or one of the BSDs installed, it would make a dandy server for some purposes. This avoids the problem of Microsoft  making vast quantities of older hardware obsolete because the new version of Windows just won't install.\n\nThat said, finding someone who needs such a thing and yet can't afford current hardware will not be easy. eBay is a possiiblity, as is donation to a local high school to serve as a class project for just such a server reincarnation. And that will require finding an instructor willing to have a go at it. Perhaps a college?\n\nCash value on the ordinary market is likely to be, as others here suggest, nil.\n\nI can think of a couple of possibilities in my neighborhood, so if you give up, drop me a line.

With a virtual private network, you can connect network components through another network, such as the Internet. You can make your Windows Server 2003-based computer a remote-access server so that other users can connect to it by using VPN, and then they can log on to the network and access shared resources. VPNs do this by "tunneling" through the Internet or through another public network in a manner that provides the same security and features as a private network. Data is sent across the public network by using its routing infrastructure, but to the user, it appears as if the data is sent over a dedicated private link.

VNC is a great open source remote desktop program.  There is a server part for the slave and a client for the master.  It is password protected and can be run through SSH for encryption.  Will work over a netowrk not sure if it can work over the internet though.  That's a whole other ball of wax.  GoToMyPC.com is for internet remote access.

Surely Apache is the most popular existing web server. Avoid IIS and generally Micro$oft!\nUse these sites to compare it with other web servers.\nhttp://www.serverwatch.com/stypes/compare/\nhttp://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/benchmarks.html\nhttp://litespeedtech.com/benchmark.html

You could run it inside VMWare Player or M$ Virtual PC. You possibly could talk to it via the virtual LAN card.

virtual memory is memory space reserved on your hard disk to be used as RAM, although it is far too slow than the electronic memory but it helps a lot for the windows to run smoothly. VM managers are softwares who manager virtual memory to save the disk space and make the RAM more efficient.

plain and simply put, a server is the computer which directs network traffic (ie. permits or denies), it provides services to clients (ie. print, DHCP, DNS, File Sharing, Storage, and many more). A client is ANY machine that utilizes said services from a Server, being this is true, at times if a server is using services from another server, then the one server is in effect a client.

A server is a computer that delivers information to another. The ones you probably see most frequently are web servers, that delivers HTML pages to your computer so you can see them, or streaming audio servers, that sends audio information to your computer so you can listen to Internet radio.\n\n'Hosting' means that a person or company with a server ('host') offers to let it deliver *your* information, like your web page. You often have to pay for it, but in exchange they make sure that their server is always accessible (ready to deliver information), keeps your data safe from hackers and crashes, etc.

What you want to do is make sure that you have an isp service with a constant or static IP address to host a server. These are the steps you need:\n\n1) Identify your IP address and find out if it's static\n2) setup your server and the folder with the pictures\n3) on your website type the html code or which ever code you use such that it links your pictures to the site, example: http://youripaddress/imagefolder/image.jpg\n\nBelow are some servers you can install on a windows based computer. If you use Linux you might have to install an extra module to use it as a server.

Can I answer this even though I don't consider myself to be an expert?\n\nIf you are looking for alternative ways to host or serve, look into the Microsoft exchange component. I high encourage you to do your research and shop and compare.\n\nI'm just supplying you with just another resource here and I'm not selling anything nor am I promoting it. If you would care to investigate the possibility of serving from home, take a look and make up your own mind.\n\nHow to build your own web server and NEVER pay hosting fees again.\nhttp://www.diywebhosting.com/
