6. The web server space that is provided in web hosting, through a certain purchased web hosting plan, is
meant for storing the files of the hosted websites.These files need a platform for being stored and
processed, which a web server provides. It is from the web server that these files are retrieved by
various web browsers. Once the retrieved files of the hosted websites are delivered over the Internet
to the electronic gadgets (smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc.) of the site visitors, the hosted sites
become accessible to them.This is how web hosting functions in order to render websites accessible
online to site visitors.

The Functioning of Web Hosting
7. A web server plays a major role in the service of web hosting. It is used for storing and processing the
files of the websites that have purchased the service of web hosting. In certain web hosting services, a
single web server stores and processes the files of multiple websites. On the other hand, certain web
servers host a single website on a single server. Moreover, there are virtually created web servers as
well.Web servers not only store and process the files of the hosted sites but also receive and respond
to the requests of the browsers of site visitors and make the stored files available to these browsers
for ensuring that the hosted sites are seamlessly accessible online.
Based on the number of websites that are hosted on a web server, it can either be a shared web server
or a dedicated web server. Moreover, it can also be a virtually-created web server (VPS).

What Does aWeb Server Do?
9. AVirtual Private Server (VPS) is a web server that has been created virtually by utilizingVirtualization
Technology. Such a web server hosts multiple websites but despite this shared server aspect, it is able
to deliver dedicated server resources, dedicated server space and a dedicated IP address along with
server customization to each of the hosted websites. In short, aVPS is configured to emulate the
environment of a dedicated web server on a shared web server. It offers an effective and less expensive
alternative to a dedicated server.
In aVPS, multiple, isolated, independent, private servers are created virtually on a physical web server.
Each of these virtually-created servers can host a website and install its own software and Operating
System.
