VirtualBox is generally used in test environments. In some development environments, a VirtualBox host is used to run multiple operating systems, and these machines are used to test different test scenarios. With VirtualBox and similar virtualization software, you can use a single machine as a host computer.

The admin account had a registered email address that I didn’t have access to, at least when I needed it right away. So, each time I used the link to reset my password, WordPress sends the help link to the email address that I could’t access....
