Dedicated virtual server hosting plans are packages for clients requiring deep access to their own private servers without requiring the full capacity of a dedicated physical server. Alternatively, these may be the preferred means for a client to purchase servers that can be quickly and easily copied, modified, or replaced.

A host may offer dedicated virtual server hosting plans as a means of offering spare space, cheap services, or as a way to reduce administrative needs.

For clients, virtual servers are best utilized for projects requiring complex system needs with low power requirements.

Virtual servers are ideal for testing new versions of software, experimenting with unknown programs, or for testing products across a wide variety of systems without the need for purchasing a wide variety of physical machines to perform testing. Because virtual servers can be quickly duplicated and reverted to prior states, they are significantly more disposable than a physical server that has to be reimaged or backed up to revert fully.

For hosts, offering a virtual server hosting in unused sections of larger, more powerful physical server boxes is a great way to offer more services to more clients without increasing their hardware overhead costs. Dedicated virtual server hosting plans are designed to rent complete systems to a wide number of clients by offering virtual environments that would be too expensive to implement with physical hardware.

Fewer servers on fewer racks offering more services is a certain recipe for increased profitability for hosting companies.

Because virtual servers can be run anywhere, they are also more dependable for clients and easily deployed by hosts. A virtual server can be copied to another location and reloaded on another physical server in a matter of minutes, and redirecting traffic to the new server is trivially easy.

Dedicated server host plans are great arrangements for reducing costs, increasing uptime, and implementing easily managed servers that can still offer unlimited access for clients.
