==Uses== Virtual web hosting is often used on a large scale in companies whose business model is to provide low cost website hosting for customers. The vast majority of [[Shared web hosting service|web hosting service]] customer websites worldwide are hosted on [[Shared server|shared servers]], using virtual hosting technology. Many business companies utilize virtual servers for internal purposes, where there is a technological or administrative reason to operate several separate websites, such as a customer extranet website, employee [[extranet]], internal [[intranet]], and intranets for different departments. If there are no security concerns in the website architectures, they can be merged into a single server using virtual hosting technology, which reduces management and [[administrative overhead]] and the number of separate servers required to support the business.
