Virtual webhosting is the process of running a number of “virtual” web servers on a single physical host computer. This enables a single computer to host thousands of independent web sites. Commercial virtual webhosting service providers often use this technique to be able to manage their hosting infrastructure well also for efficient and scalable hosting service. Most virtual webhosting applications rely on virtual DNS resolution, so that a specific domain name (such as a customer’s own registered domain name) may be associated with each independent virtual webhosting server. This can be achieved through either name-based or IP-based virtual web hosting. These techniques are explained below.
