I am not sure where to put this question.

A web server usually hosts many domains, ie "abcd.com", "123456.com"
etc.

When I ping "abcd.com" or "123456.com", it returns a single IP
address.

How does a web server indentifies which domain to server ?

Your browser sends the whole URL to the server.

If the web service is configured for it, the service is smart enough to pull out the virtual server name and serve up only the content associated with that server name.
