Virtual Server
A UNIX based server environment which allows multiple independent servers to operate on the same hardware (as opposed to dedicated or shared servers).
Virus
A virus is a malicious program whose sole intent is to cause problems on
a computer. There are Anti-Virus programs, such as McAfee and Norton
Utilities, created to combat viruses.
Virus Hoax
Occasionally, rumors are started about viruses that do not exist. These
are merely hoaxes.
Volano Chat
A real-time, live chat interface you can add--quickly and easily--to your
Web site. Written in Java, it is compatible with the vast majority of Web
browsers and requires no plug-ins.
VPS (Virtual Private Server)
A hosting environment that gives users their own Unix virtual machine. Each VPS is a private and protected area that operates as an independent server. The VPS allows multiple customers to share the expense of hardware and network connections (and completely eliminate the hassle of maintaining it all), without sacrificing performance or freedom. Although multiple customers share hardware, they do not share software. Every VPS has its own complete directory structure and set of dedicated applications (web server, mail server, etc.). Even though hardware is shared, the VPS Technology features 'fair share' scheduling of processes, memory, and network, so each VPS receives the resources it deserves.
