The most reliable way to check if a server is physical or virtual is to contact the IT department or the cloud provider where the server is hosted. If the server is hosted on-site, then there is usually a label on the server that states if it is physical or virtual. If the server is hosted in the cloud, the cloud provider should be able to provide information on the type of server it is. In addition, many cloud providers offer a web-based management console where the type of server can be seen.
