"Shared hosting" and "Virtual hosting" are the same thing.

A "Virtual Private Server" is just a way of takeing 1 server and making
it seem like it is 20 or so dedicated servers. There is alot of software out
there for ISP's that allow an ISP to run like 20 virtual servers on a single
server. I dont like that stuff so we dont use it.... but it is out there....

It's kinda like running 10 copies of linux on 1 server and each customer
gets his own virtual linux server to use, root access and all...

But its sloppy and error prone.

Why use that when you can get a real server for as low as 99.00 a month?
