A virtual machine can do anything a physical computer can. They are used to store data, run applications and services, connect resources to the internet, and serve content to the web. VMs can be used to host multiple websites, ecommerce stores, and cPanel activities like storing files, accessing client databases, and emails. These machines can also be used to back up data or handle potential malware in a contained environment separate from important systems.

KVM, (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), is a virtualization technology that comes built into Linux. Using KVM, the Linux kernel can be made to function as a hypervisor. Think of the hypervisor as special software that allows a physical host (PC or server) to be divided into multiple, isolated virtual machines. This is called virtualization.

VM stands for virtual machine, whereas KVM stands for kernel-based virtual machine. The two terms represent linked, but different technologies. A virtual machine is a software version of a computer that runs atop a physical computer or server.

KVM is a Linux server virtualization solution that lets you create and manage virtual machines on a physical computer or server. So, KVM is used to create VMs. Think of it as the emulation software that makes it possible to run multiple self-contained, isolated operating systems, on the same piece of hardware.
