Hosting multiple domains w/one IP address w/out a dns server...?

[Paulson]

I don't have my own dns servers otherwise I could do such a feat...

any ideas?

I don't know how to use virtual hosting, but I'd like to figure out if that'd work or if I'm running in the totally wrong direction.

Thanks

hosts files on the client PCs? Then just use host headers on the server

If you are talking about multiple clients that you don't have control of, you could always register multiple DNS names with a free dynamic DNS service like no-ip.com

appache handles virtual hosting well. Watch some arse will call me on my spelling of apache. hehe.
ne way register the domains throught abordomains 13.00 a year and it includes dNS service
If they are alread registered. you can use zoneedit for your dns up to 5 domains for free.
good luck.
the dns is the easiest part. setting up the virtual host thingy I have no Idea.
I use a linux server distro that did it for me

Running multiple domain names on one IP address is done by the webserver software, not the DNS. If you use apache or one of the server versions of windows, you can do this. In apache it's called virtual hosting, in IIS it's called Host headers.

Yes this is true as I pointed out in the first sentence of my post. He wanted to be dns free.. We all know that dns is a must I was pointing out to him where he could get free dns.
for with out a dns server to route the requests. his virtual server wouldnt have any requests to serve.
Tell bl striker what server software you are using perhaps he can help you set up the virtual server (apache) or host headers (IIS)
good luck

zonedit.com and RTFM for your webserver. should take about 5 minutes to set up, piece of cake.
