<p>The term <cite>Virtual Host</cite> refers to the practice of
running more than one web site (such as
on a single machine. Virtual hosts can be "<a href="ip-based.html">IP-based</a>", meaning that you have a
different IP address for every web site, or "<a href="name-based.html">name-based</a>", meaning that you have
multiple names running on each IP address. The fact that they
are running on the same physical server is not apparent to the
end user.</p>
<p>Apache was one of the first servers to support IP-based
virtual hosts right out of the box. Versions 1.1 and later of
Apache support both IP-based and name-based virtual hosts
(vhosts). The latter variant of virtual hosts is sometimes also
called <em>host-based</em> or <em>non-IP virtual hosts</em>.</p>
<p>Below is a list of documentation pages which explain all
details of virtual host support in Apache version 1.3 and
later.</p>

<p>If you are trying to debug your virtual host configuration, you
may find the Apache <code>-S</code> command line switch
useful. That is, type the following command:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
</code></p></div>
<p>This command will dump out a description of how Apache parsed
the configuration file. Careful examination of the IP addresses and
server names may help uncover configuration mistakes. (See
other command line options)</p>
