What type of server is located at another location and shared by multiple website owners?

• A. Virtual Server
• B. Local Server
• C. Dedicated Server
• D. Proxy Server

Answer: (A)

Multi-tenant hosting through virtualization is being tested here. A server located in a separate data center and shared by multiple website owners is a virtual server. Through virtualization, one physical machine hosts several virtual servers, each allocated to a different owner and operating as its own independent hosting environment. This setup lets many websites run on separate virtual servers while sharing the same hardware and data-center facilities.

In contrast, a local server runs on your own equipment, a dedicated server is a single owner’s sole use of one physical machine, and a proxy server acts as an intermediary for requests rather than hosting multiple sites for different owners.
