Virtual Host

A "virtual host" has a unique domain name, but the same ip address as other domain names. For example, www.limopros.com and www.hiphopstarz.com can have the same ip address 66.165.171.142 and share the same web server.

In this scenario, both www.limopros.com and www.hiphopstarz.com are registered with the standard domain name service registry as having the IP address 66.165.171.142. A user types in the url http://www.limopros.com in their browser. The user's computer resolves the name www.limopros.com to the IP address 66.165.171.142. The webserver on the machine that has the IP address 66.165.171.142 receives the request. The server then determines which virtual host to use by looking at the request URL and getting itthe from a HTTP header submitted by the browser.
