Spanish term or phrase: Espacio virtual
From a description of an on-line project.

I don't know whether this should be virtual Web site or Web space. The article is referring to a web space/site where members can participate in its expansion by up loading work, etc.


Espacio virtual www.XXX dospone de seis apartados.

I originally went for Web space but I am doubtful.

virtual domain
Explanation:
Virtual Domain. A website setting on its own domain name. For example this web
site is located on the Virtual Domain www.searchengineworld.com. ...
www.webmasterworld.com/glossary/virtual_domain.htm

apartados in this case reffers to "domain names"


Controlled by the world-wide orgainzation called ICANN, domain names are obtained on a first-come basis, and are used to identify your unique web site (For instance, www:yourname.com.) Most common are the suffixes: .com, .org, and .net. However there are a large number of new suffixes giving a lot more name options. A top level domain can be obtained by paying an annual registration fee to a domain registrar such as Register.com. Fees range from under $10 a year to $30 a year. Some web hosting providers such as iPowerweb.com offer a domain name as part of the monthly hosting fee.
