Hi,<br>
I'm wondering how VPS servers are configured. I have a VPS with a <br>
dedicated IP. I assume I share a box that has a number of virtual <br>
machines and I assume each VPS has a dedicated IP.<br>
<br>
This is a hardware question. I assume the box has at least 2 network <br>
cards. So lets say the server has 20 VPS on it and each has a dedicated <br>
IP. Does the box need a NIC for each IP or does the box have NIC cards <br>
that can service/route multiple IPs?<br>
<br>
I have a Dell consumer grade mini tower computer with a single NIC which <br>
is built into the motherboard. I assume that NIC can only service one <br>
IP address, is that correct or can I install virtualization software on <br>
this computer and use the NIC for multiple IP's?<br>
<br>
Did I just open a can of worms?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your wisdom.<br>
