For example, a single physical server might have two virtual private servers running: one hosting the production-level (live) website, and a second which houses a copy of it. When updates to crucial parts of software need to be made, they can be tested in the second <span class="caps">VPS</span>, allowing for detailed testing to be conducted without requiring several physical servers.</p> <p>Virtual private servers are also sometimes employed to provide honeypots, allowing a machine to deliberately run software with known security flaws. Because it is possible to quickly deploy multiple virtual private servers on a single computer, honeypots are much easier to deploy, allowing better insight into the world of computer security.</p> Virtual private server From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
