Multi-Domain Hosting Hosting multiple domains on one server using Apache John Beckett 1/16/2013

Steps in the path Register a host name Point its IP address to your server At this point: That host name will show your default server Web page. So you need to adjust your server. Add content in your server Good idea to establish a directory for this host name Add a config for this host in /etc/apache2/sites-available Enable the site # a2ensite filename Restart the Web server so it will use the new config # service apache2 restart Or… #apache2ctl restart

Register a host name Free: no-ip.org

Add content to your server Typically: $ mkdir – makes a directory, use a descriptive name E.g. mkdir raccoon $cd – go into the directory E.g. cd raccoon Create an index file E.g. nano index.html

Add config file for this host This example will be /etc/apache2/sites- available/skunk
