Migrating a Web Server to IIS 5.0

Virtual Host

The IIS 5.0 counterpart to the Apache Virtual Host is a virtual server. As with Apache virtual hosts, each virtual server in IIS 5.0 has its own domain name and IP address. Apache also includes “name-based” virtual hosts in this category. IIS 5.0 supports this feature in the same manner as Apache, through host header names, but doesn’t have a specific term for it.
