The newer VMWare ESXi runs on a tiny kernel and has a much smaller footprint. It's perfect for getting your base machine up in a hurry and for testing. It still leaves a little to desire on the management side, but that where VMWare ESX shines (and costs a lot of money).

It is really for ease of management. In this case, I am using virtual machines to separate the different tasks. One for serving web pages and one for storing downloadable files and images. I liked this approach since I could keep the webserver and its files small and allow the NAS with the images and downloads can get big quickly. This makes backups and disaster recovery easier. The other advantage is that you could have multiple webservers using the same NAS for data. Good Question Bill. It is really for ease of management.
