Re: Question regarding web hosting ip addressing

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

Summary: Name based if you can to save on addressing and if you don't need
SSL. IP Based for SSL and if customer insists for some strange reason. It
got really popular when ARIN said no more IP's for web addressing, then
they backed off of that idea.

I've set it up on IIS and Apache before. Pretty simple on both.
