Name-based hosting

Hi,

What is name based web hosing?

This is a form of shared/virtual hosting.

From Wikipedia: 'Name-based virtual hosts use multiple host names for the same webserver IP address.'

So basically, there is one IP address that keeps several websites running, as opposed to several IP addresses, one for each website.
