What is Name Based Hosting? Do I need an IP for each domain on my server?

Name Based Hosting is a method in which single IP address is allowed to host multiple domains. You do not need an IP address for each site; one IP address is enough for the entire server instead. Name Based Hosting does not impact the performance or appearance of the domains hosted. Plus, it's an economic way of IP usage.

Please note, however, that some applications and services require a dedicated IP. These include things like SSL Certificates and Anonymous FTP.
