+
+ <para>Apache supports two different types of Virtual Hosting. The first method is
+ Name-based Virtual Hosting. Name-based virtual hosting uses the clients HTTP/1.1
+ headers to figure out the hostname. This allows many different domains to share
+ the same IP address.</para>
+
+ <para>To setup Apache to use Name-based Virtual Hosting add an entry like the following
+ to your <filename>httpd.conf</filename>.</para>
+
+ <programlisting>NameVirtualHost *</programlisting>
+
+ <para>If you had the domains www.domain.tld and www.someotherdomain.tld you would add
+ entries that look like the following:</para>
+
+ <screen><VirtualHost *>
+ServerName www.domain.tld
+DocumentRoot /www/domain.tld
+<VirtualHost>
+
+<VirtualHost *>
+ServerName www.someotherdomain.tld
+DocumentRoot /www/someotherdomain.tld
+</VirtualHost></screen>
+
+ <para>Replace the addresses with the addresses you want to use and the path to the
+ documents with what you are using.</para>
+
+ <para>For more info consult the official Apache documentation at:
+ <ulink url="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html"></ulink></para>;
