Yes, but that box pretends to be several different boxes all at the same time. Each of those is "virtual".

I don't understand how any software could run on anything other than a computer I can point at. How is this in any way virtual? There's gotta be a computer somewhere.

Real hosting is when it's hosted on a physical box. Either a dedicated server or a shared server. Virtual hosting is where a virtual machine hosts your site. So, your site would have a dedicated virtual machine, but this virtual machine is on a machine that hosts some other virtual machines.

Wot's the difference between real hosting and virtual hosting?

Just out of curiosity. Who do people use for hosting their Mediawiki sites?
I've used JaguarPC.com for several years now. Their "gigadeal" package sets the bar in regards to virtual hosting features and cost. Customer service has been top notch and I know several others that have nothing but good things to say about them.
