a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsync<p>The term <cite>Virtual Host</cite> refers to the practice of maintaining
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncmore than one server on one machine, as differentiated by their apparent
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsynchostname. For example, it is often desirable for companies sharing a
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncweb server to have their own domains, with web servers accessible as
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsync<samp>www.company1.com</samp> and <samp>www.company2.com</samp>,
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncwithout requiring the user to know any extra path information.</p>
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsync<p>Apache was one of the first servers to support IP-based
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncvirtual hosts right out of the box. Versions 1.1 and later of
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncApache support both, IP-based and name-based virtual hosts (vhosts).
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncThe latter variant of virtual hosts is sometimes also called host-based or
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncnon-IP virtual hosts.</P>
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsync<P>Below is a list of documentation pages which explain all details
a466f24ecf94b453750f9791ad1140556114711bvboxsyncof virtual host support in Apache version 1.3 and later.</P>
