How to Configure Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 20.04 - 22.04
The virtual hosting concept is used by companies to host multiple websites using a single machine. It can be achieved either by an ‘IP-based’ method or a ‘name-based’ approach. In ‘IP-based’ hosting we have distinct IP addresses for each website. In the case of ‘name-based’ hosting, we have multiple names running on each IP address.
In this Video, we will see how we can host two virtual hosts on an Ubuntu 20.04 - 22.04 system using name-based virtual hosting. We will use the Apache web server.
