Virtual hosts or virtual hosting is a method for hosting multiple domain names (with separate handling of each name) on a single server (or pool of servers).

This allows one server to share its resources, such as memory and processor cycles, without requiring all services provided to use the same host name. The term virtual hosting is usually used in reference to web servers but the principles carry over to other internet services.

One widely used application is shared web hosting.

There are two main types of virtual hosting, name based and IP based. Name based and IP based virtual hosting can be combined, a server may have multiple IP address and serve multiple names on some or all of those IP addresses. This technique can be useful when using SSL/TLS with wildcard certificates.
