1. A water dispenser for cooling and purifying water, comprising: a cold water container having a water storing space to store water to be purified therein, and a hollow portion;a cooling device installed outside the cold water container and configured to cool the water stored in the cold water container;a water purification device fluidly connected to the cold water container and configured to purify the cooled water supplied from the cold water container, the water purification device being installed inside the hollow portion of the cold water container;a refrigerator having an outer wall made of an insulation material and having a space formed therein for accommodating the cold water container, the water purification device, and the cooling device; anda cold water valve connected with the water purification device and configured to directly discharge the purified water. 2. The dispenser of claim 1, further comprising: a hot water container disposed outside the refrigerator, including a heating device configured to receive the purified water from the water purification device and to heat the same;a hot water valve connected with the hot water container and configured to receive the heated water from the hot water container; anda water outlet pipe provided to discharge the heated water supplied from the hot water valve. 3. The dispenser of claim 2, wherein said hot water valve includes a hot water container vent provided to discharge part of the heated water being stored in the hot water container to an outside when a volume of the heated water being stored in the hot water container increases. 4. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein said cooling device is disposed surrounding an outer surface of the cold water container. 5. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cooling device is disposed in contact with an outer surface of the cold water container. 6. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cooling device includes a refrigerant flow pipe that surrounds the cold water container. 7. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cooling device is installed conforming to an outside surface of the cold water container. 8. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cooling device has two ends being fastened to each other by an engaging mechanism. 9. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cold water container is formed in the shape of a hollow cylinder or a hollow cubic. 10. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cold water container stores the water before the water is purified by the water purification device. 11. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein the cold water container, the water purification device, and the cooling device are concentrically disposed. 12. The dispenser of claim 2, further comprising a water supply valve connected with an external water pipe, with the water supply valve being opened or closed in cooperation with the cold water valve or the hot water valve. 13. A method of cooling and purifying water, comprising the steps of: storing water to be purified, in a cold water container having a water storing space and a hollow portion;cooling the stored water by a cooling device disposed outside the cold water container;purifying the water supplied from the cold water container by use of a purification device installed in the hollow portion of the cold water container; anddirectly discharging the purified water. 14. The dispenser of claim 1, further comprising a water outlet pipe configured to deliver the purified water discharged from the cold water valve.
