In the first case the customer is really looking for a large shared hosting plan that allows multiple domains. More frequently in the industry you see the term "Multi-Domain account" to refer to these plans. These customers can be webmasters with a network of websites, web designers, or a company that wants separate websites for their different brands. Most people doing business on the internet have more then 1 website. Hosting companies have recently taken notice to this and started offering "multiple domain" accounts. Before customers were left with the choice of a full blown Reseller plan, dedicated server, or multiple hosting accounts.

Virtual hosting is a shared hosting concept where multiple customers lease the same web server for hosting their websites. In a virtual hosting environment, the server resources (CPU, memory and disk space) is shared by all the customers. Usually monitoring for the allocation of resources is possible in case of memory and disk space... it is difficult to track CPU utilization by each customer. Therefore, if one website consumes 50% CPU, all other website on that virtual server will suffer.

For end customers, virtual infrastructure as a service offers significant benefits compared to traditional hosting offerings that provide dedicated servers or shared hosting. Dedicated server offerings often lead to long-term capacity over-commitment and lack of flexibility, while the VSPP enables hosting providers to offer "utility computing" services, which allow end customers to instantaneously add or reduce their hosted virtual infrastructure capacity to align with event-driven demand. With shared hosting, single operating system instances are partitioned, forcing customers into one-size- fits-all computing models that lack full isolation from one another. VMware hosted virtual machines are fully isolated-if one virtual machine crashes, others remain available-and they can be easily tailored to the particular needs of every application.
