f90884915ff10ae83f59e709c68824de834e64f5Dominik Luecke <p>The term <cite>Virtual Host</cite> refers to the practice of
f90884915ff10ae83f59e709c68824de834e64f5Dominik Luecke running more than one web site (such as
da955132262baab309a50fdffe228c9efe68251dCui Jian <code>www.company1.com</code> and <code>www.company2.com</code>)
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder on a single machine. Virtual hosts can be "<a href="ip-based.html">IP-based</a>," meaning that you have a
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder different IP address for every web site, or "<a href="name-based.html">name-based</a>," meaning that you have
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder multiple names running on each IP address. The fact that they
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder are running on the same physical server is not apparent to the
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder end user.</p>
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder <p>Apache was one of the first servers to support IP-based
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder virtual hosts right out of the box. Versions 1.1 and later of
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder Apache support both IP-based and name-based virtual hosts
16e124196c6b204769042028c74f533509c9b5d3Christian Maeder (vhosts). The latter variant of virtual hosts is sometimes also
202df46772cac2ee2e8627ba196a5faebb6f9a05Christian Maeder called <em>host-based</em> or <em>non-IP virtual hosts</em>.</p>
