+1  Q: 

phpInfo: What does "Virtual Server" refer to?

I noticed that in phpinfo under "apache2handler", it says:

Virtual Server Yes

What does that refer to? Does that mean that apache is on a virtual (i.e. not dedicated) host? What would be a case when it would say:

Virtual Server No

?

Thanks for any help with this.

+2  A: 

That really just means that apache is configured so that it can serve more than one domain. It has nothing to do with whether or not apache is running on a shared server or dedicated server.

Similar terminology, completely different meanings.

Ok, thought so. Thank you for confirming.
