What virtual hosting actually is?

Virtual web servers are much like actual dedicated servers, in terms of functionality. They both offer root access to the server's configuration files, they both offer complete independency from other accounts hosted on the same server, or data center and the only difference is the amount of hosting attributes that the two services offer, in terms of disk space, monthly traffic, RAM etc.. The amount of attributes however, directly reflects the end user price, making the VPS much cheaper than the physical dedicated hosting server.
