Do I have to restart Apache everytime I add new virtual hosts?

I want to start hosting web sites on my server (redhat linux with Apache). Do I have to restart Apache every single time I add a new Virtual Host to the httpd.conf? Is there a way so I wont have to? I've never restarted Apache so I wouldn't know, but what is involved in it? How do I initiate it?
 
yes

now would be a good time to read and learn more about apache BEFORE you start hosting. I find the docs on http.apache.org good and searches are google aren't bad either
 
Yes. In fact anytime you change the httpd.conf file you must Apache.

If it's RH or mandrake, then probably the easiest way is just /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart. Hopefully it does this without generating any errors. If errors are generated then you should review the logs located in /var/log/httpd/.
