Virtual hosting is a technique that allows one physical web server to host multiple websites simultaneously. Each website appears to have its own separate server, with its own domain name and content, but they share the same hardware and IP address. This is achieved by configuring the server to recognize different domain names and serve the appropriate website files accordingly. Virtual hosting improves resource efficiency and reduces costs, making it possible for multiple websites to coexist on a single machine without interference, while providing users with seamless access to their respective sites.
