A virtual private server (also called a virtual dedicated server) is a form of virtualization in which one physical server is divided and used as multiple virtual servers. This has long been well known, as with mainframes, but it has recently drawn attention again as technologies such as VMware, Xen, FreeBSD Jail, User-mode Linux (UML), Linux-VServer, FreeVPS, OpenVZ, and Virtuozzo have developed.
