Virtual Server Technology

Ask anyone who is a tech geek and been around the web since it's early days and they will probably tell you one of the biggest advancements in server technology was virtual hosting. Virtual hosting was created out of a need due to scarce resources. With the number of internet users growing at a feverish pace and the total number of users miniscule in comparison to the global population, virtual hosting was needed unless an upgrade to the IP protocol was going to take place. Virtual hosting allows for multiple sites to be hosted on the same machine and because of this a new system of distributing IP addresses is not needed. This along with NAT.
