Andrew, have you done this? I know it can be done, but what is the performance like? I just find my NAS drive to be so much slower, I would be worried that the site would have horrible response time. Just curious.

I'm looking at various models of Synology NAS. The DS918+ seems to be fairly powerful and can run up to 7 VMs too (not that I plan to do that).

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
