Virtual Subhosting
Virtual Subhosting is one of the most powerful features of the Virtual Private Server and our
Apache Web Server. This feature allows you to support
multiple domain names that each resolve to their own unique subdirectories on a single Virtual
Private Server. In other words, you can host bob.com and jim.com on the same
Virtual Private Server, each with its own domain name and unique site content. You can also offer
each Virtual Subhost customer their own unique FTP login with access to their own subdirectory
and e-mail addresses using their own domain name. When used correctly, Virtual Subhosting offers you a powerful, low-cost product that you can
use to get your "foot in the door" with prospective clients. You can use Virtual
Subhosting to provide clients with a small sample site for $10 to $20 per month, later upgrading
them to their own full Virtual Private Server as their needs expand. Limitations
For performance reasons, we have established guidelines with regard to the number of Virtual
Subhosts you should place on a single Virtual Private Server. Keep in mind that these guidelines
are suggested so that the performance of your own Virtual Private Server and Virtual Subhost
domains is not compromised. For more information, see the following. Configuration
Configuring Virtual Subhosts need not be a daunting task. There are several methods you can use
to do it. A utility that automates Virtual Subhost configuration can be easier, faster, and more
user-friendly. If you require more flexibility to fine tune the setup to your exact needs, then
you should configure your Virtual Subhosts by hand.
