Difference between Name-Based and IP-Based Hosting

Name-Based Hosting: In name-based hosting, a server hosts multiple websites, and all the websites share the same IP address. The server identifies the website requested by the user by looking at the host header in the HTTP request.

Example:

Let's say that a server hosts websites A.com and B.com on the same IP address. When a user requests A.com, the server looks at the host header in the HTTP request, identifies it as A.com and serves the corresponding website content.

IP-Based Hosting: In IP-based hosting, each website has its own unique IP address. A server can host multiple websites, and each website has its own IP address. The server identifies the website requested by the user by looking at the IP address in the HTTP request.

Example:

Let's say that a server hosts websites A.com and B.com on their own unique IP addresses. When a user requests A.com, the server looks at the IP address in the HTTP request, identifies it as belonging to A.com, and serves the corresponding website content.
