Its is where you put your server onto someone elses network.
They supply you with power, x number of IP addresses and a certain amount of bandwidth either throttled or burstable per month.
If you are luckily you can remotely restart your machine through a power control unit such as an APC masterswitch.
There are too many virtual ISPs about.
If you want the name of a good privately owned company in their own privately owned building that is flexible enough and not too expensive then drop me a PM.
If you want 100Gbs of data for 5p a month. Don't bother
They are based in Dorset and I used to work for them until Sept last year.

The deal is its a bloody lucrative business to be in as they charge a fortune for it and get lots of business. Checked out a few in London for a project we were going with, some pretty impressive places about.
You can get the full works like a managed service where they do pretty much everything for you or just have a server housed with power and network connectivity, its down to what you want and how much you can afford.
