Question

Hariprasath Rajapandiyan · Accepted Answer

Virtualization is the process of creating virtual versions of physical components — such as servers, storage devices, operating systems, or networks — using software. Instead of running one operating system on one physical machine, virtualization allows multiple operating systems (called virtual machines or VMs) to run simultaneously on the same hardware using a hypervisor.

In typical hosting setup: *One physical server runs one operating system and one or more applications. *If the server is underutilized, resources (CPU, RAM) are wasted. *If the app crashes or is hacked, it can affect the whole machine. *Without Virtualization, You’d need 3 separate physical servers, each dedicated to one task.
