### Enabling Creation of Name-Based VEs on a Virtuozzo Hardware Node

Virtuozzo name-based hosting is a VE-related implementation of a well-known technique of name-based web hosting, implemented, for example, in the Apache web server. Name-based web hosting is widely used alongside of IP-based web hosting. Unlike the latter, it refers to the process of running multiple "virtual" web servers on a single IP address of the host computer.

Virtuozzo name-based hosting enables the Hardware Node administrator to provide a single external IP address for all or a number of VEs hosted on that Node. All network requests received by the Node are redirected to the corresponding VE according to the domain name supplied by the requesting client, enabling the Hardware Node to differentiate among multiple VEs on the one IP address.

Note: Name-based hosting is supported by Virtuozzo versions not lower than 2.6. Thus, if the name-based hosting options are not shown on the Hardware Node configuration screen, this means that the Hardware Node either runs the Virtuozzo version lower than 2.6 or the Hardware Node is not available at the moment.

To sell the name-based VEs, you can create the name-based Hosting Plans of the Virtuozzo VE type and enable the name-based hosting for these hosting plans
