Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments relating to virtual file systems for customers having network sites hosted by a hosting provider. A file system with multiple files of a customer is maintained for a hosting provider. Customer access to a virtualized version of the file system is facilitated. The virtualized version of the file system includes a virtual file that is dynamically generated based at least in part on one of the files in response to an access of the virtual file by the customer. The file system excludes the virtual file. A modification to the virtual file by the customer is obtained. The file in the file system is updated based at least in part on the modification to the virtual file.
