How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts

An Apache web server breaks its functionality and components into individual units that can be customized and configured independently. The basic unit that describes an individual site or domain is called a virtual host. This system allows one server to host multiple domains or sites from a single interface or IP address. In this guide, we’ll learn how to set up Apache virtual hosts, and how to serve different content to different visitors depending on which domains they are requesting.
