Host Multiple Websites on a Single Server
Apache is free, open-source, and the most widely used web server around the world. It is not only known for its power but also for its multiple components with specific functions. Apache Virtual Host is one such component; it allows us to host multiple websites on a single server.
If you have one big server with extensive resources like lots of HDD space, RAM, and CPU power, then you can host multiple websites using virtual hosting. You can host an unlimited number of websites on your Apache webserver. Make sure your server has enough resources to handle the traffic and disc space requirements. One of the best examples is a web hosting provider that uses virtual hosting to host hundreds and thousands of websites on a single server.
There are three ways to host multiple websites on a single server:
- Name-based Virtual Hosting.
- IP-based Virtual Hosting.
- Port-based Virtual Hosting.
