Greetings! I am trying to find out whether or not I can run a LISTSERV program on a Virtual Server. Someone asked if a Virtual Server is a VM Machine. I honestly do not know the answer. But, I can give you a description of a Virtual Server and I have done so, below, FYI. After you read the description of Virtual Server, I hope someone can tell me whether or not I can run a LISTSERV software program on a Virtual Server. Thanks. Prema Qadir +++++++++++++++++ VIRTUAL SERVERS: +++++++++++++++++ A Virtual Server is a portion of computer memory which resides at a *remote* location which stores Web Pages and is connected to the Internet. The *remote* computer can be accessed via FTP, TELNET, using an HTML editor, or using the "Adgrafix Web Site Manager (WSM) Virtual Server Systems and Software". http://www.adgrafix.com/info/pqadir/ Virtual Servers are assigned their own DOMAIN NAME (e.g. adgrafix.com) and can have, virtually, an unlimited number of Directories and thousands of Files. A Virtual Server includes the CGI-BIN directory. This is where programs are stored that make the Internet much more than a video brochure. Very few Web Presence/Internet Service Providers (ISPs) actually sell Virtual Servers. Most of them sell VIRTUAL HOSTING which *appears* to be the same, Virtual Hosting limits the customer on how much control they have over the administration of their Web Site. Virtual Web Hosting is for someone who has a Web Page or Web Site and needs a place to store it. Each Virtual Server is assigned its own unique IP address, and login account. VIRTUAL SERVERS run one (1) copy of the Web Server for each customer. VIRTUAL HOSTING runs just one (1) copy of the Web Server for many users. The main benefits of a Virtual Server are: (1) Shared resources (2) Hardware Administration (3) Convenience ------------------------------------------------------------------- Adgrafix Virtual Server Systems Information ------------------------------------------------------------------- Adgrafix Web Site Manager Virtual Server System & Software http://www.adgrafix.com/info/pqadir/ Adgrafix Detailed Virtual Server Options http://www.adgrafix.com/info/pqadir/detailed.html Compare Pricing of Virtual Server Systems: http://www.ilhawaii.net/~premaq/Adgrafix/compare.html ================================= Prema Qadir, BSCE Account Executive Adgrafix Virtual Server Systems & Software mailto:[log in to unmask] ==================================
