What is a vGRID Virtual Server?
A vGRID virtual server is a server that shares the hardware resources of the overall platform rather than being a single piece of equipment just for that server alone. A virtual server is not at risk of a drive failure or power supply failure or any other hardware fault since it resides on a large number of physical servers, sharing the resource.
It is important to know that a virtual server on vGRID is not a virtual "container" like some of the VPS offerings available. Those solutions provide a container within a single server installation and give you access to it. A virtual server on vGRID is an isolated environment with your own operating system installation, your own network, your own CPU, RAM and Hard Drive devices attached (virtual devices). The brains behind this sharing of physical resources is known as a hypervisor.
