Re: One web server, multiple domains; a slight twist



Assume a domain "zzz.com".

Current DNS record points to the server, say, 201.100.100.100

I sign up another ISP (call it new ISP) and create a domain name
"zzz.com" (a default index.html is usually created and placed in the
public folder). Assume that the server of the new ISP is
201.100.100.200.

When I type http://www.zzz.com in a browser, the traffic will go to
201.100.100.100.

Question:

Is it possible to navigate to the new ISP server by indicating the IP
201.100.100.200 ?

Something like "http://201.100.100.200/zzz.com/index.html"; (please
forgive me I simply coin the http address).

Thanks.











A web server typically hosts multiple domains, eg "abcd.com",
"123456.com" etc.

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

What mechanism is used to identify which domain to serve ?

Thanks.
