In early 2001 a policy proposal regarding name-based
web hosting gained consensus at an ARIN public policy
meeting and resulted in the ratification of a new
policy.

In July of 2001 this policy was reviewed and overturned.

ARIN does not currently have a policy that requires the
use of hostname based virtual web hosting.
