What's the difference between a Virtual server and a dedicated server? Can I host Minecraft server and websites off of a Virtual server?

They are very much the same.
Yes you can host a website and a Minecraft server on a VPS or dedicated server.

The only difference is that a VPS is a dedicated server cut up, pretty much. Other people may have another VPS running on the same dedicated server. So if you need a lot of space and ram, then get a dedicated server, otherwise, a VPS is a great option.

Virtual server is shared resources dedicated server is dedicated resources.
