Hmmm. I didn't think they got a list of available servers. This is =
done using browser header info.. The browser transfers to the server the =
url typed in. The server then looks up that URL and automatically =
redirects them. Or at least this is my understanding.

Subject: Re: Single IP, multiple domains
I think, for me anyway, that multihosting on a single IP is a way to =
cater
to "smaller" users. What I mean is, I have a full class C and I use =
IP's
for workstations, servers (mail, ftp, webservers, etc.). Now, since I =
only
have 254 IPs to use, I need to charge a higher rate than the "other =
guys"
that charge $25.00 per month for "www.yourdomain.com".=20
The guys that charge such a small price are usually multi-hosting on a
single IP to an Apache server (or something). Now, when someone wants a
full domain on my servers I usually create a new IP for this hosting.
Sometimes, I get people asking me "why do you charge more than the other =
guys?"
It's so hard to explain to the average user, but a full domain with a =
unique
IP address is "better" than a multi-hosted domain because not all =
browsers
can work with these scenarios properly. That's why, a system that is
multi-hosted on a single IP usually has a "menu" of available domains =
that
pops up on browsers that don't support multi-hosting on a single domain.
So, for me, I want the capability of multi-hosting on a single IP so I =
can
sell some of those cheaper web sites but I would recommend using ONLY =
unique
IPs for larger corporate web sites (If I accessed a company at
www.company.com and was presented instead with a list of available web =
sites
I'd think again about what kind of company they were).
