Multiple Domains on a Webserver

Hi All,

 

I have to configure 1 webserver that hosts 6 different domains. 4 of them is http and 2 of them is https,

 

So that, i believe that i need 2 VIP address to accomplish this. At that point, there is another issue on customer side that has only one public ip address for this purpose.

 

http://www.abc.com http://www.xyz.com http://www.asd.com http://www.aaa.com https://www.abcd.com https://www.asdf.com

 

All these sites are on only one webserver.

 

Do you any recommendation for this purpose ?

 

Kind Regards.

  • Hi Seckin,

     

    You can host as many HTTP sites as you want on a single external IP. There are no technical limitations.

     

    You could also host as many HTTPS sites as you want on a single IP. But you have to plan your certificates carefully. The point for HTTPS is, that the Virtual Server used for HTTPS must either be able to switch the required SSL certificates to match the requested site name (via SNI; Server Name Indication) or you must a deploy single SSL certificate which includes all HTTPS site names via Subject Alternative Names (SAN) or by using a Wildcard-Certificate.

     

    Furthermore you can run a HTTP as well as HTTPS Virtual Server on the same IP.

     

    So it will be definately possible to publish all a your sites using the very same IP address.

     

    Cheers, Kai
