Common types of virtual hosts

This article shows you the common types of virtual hosts, which are concise and easy to understand, which can definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

There are three main forms of virtual host: URL name correspondence (Name-based), IP address correspondence (IP-based) and Port port number correspondence (Port-based).

Corresponding URL name (Name-based)

URL name correspondence (Name-based) determines the corresponding service by identifying the URL provided by the client. This method can effectively reduce the occupation of IP address, but the disadvantage is that it must rely on the support of DNS name corresponding service. If the name corresponding service is interrupted, the corresponding service will not be available.

IP address correspondence (IP-based)

IP address correspondence (IP-based) means that multiple services are managed by the same configuration setting and different IP on the same server.

Port port number correspondence (Port-based)

Similar to IP address correspondence, but under the same IP, using different port numbers to distinguish different services, in order to quickly create multiple virtual hosts. For example:

192.168.0.1:80192.168.0.1:8080192.168.0.1:8888

However, most of these applications are used in private or experimental services because users cannot use the default port number (for example, the default port number of the Web service, 80) to access the service provided, unless the user knows the port number on which the service is provided.

The above are common types of virtual hosts. Have you learned any knowledge or skills? If you want to learn more skills or enrich your knowledge reserve, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
