A server is a dedicated system designed to provide centralised access and
control of separate resources and 'serve' them to those who request access. It
can be used to hold important documents, share presentations an briefs and used
as a central point of communication in a business.
A Virtual server functions just like a real server - only without the server.
Instead of being its own box, with its own power and maintenance needs, the server
exists in one box with many others - this is an efficient, cost effective and
environmentally friendly alternative to a physical server.
SSL is a Secure Sockets Layer and ensures that any data sent between
a user and a server will be safe and secure. It is neccesary when transmitting
sensitive information over the internet, such as high-level passwords, credit
card information and personal information. If you are dealing with information

system. A larger amount of disk space will allow you to save more information
