Virtual domains are identified by the HTTP Host: header. So, let us say foo.com and bar.com are hosted on the same IP. You open browser and type foo.com. The browser connects to the IP, and sends the following: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: foo.com And the server knows this guy needs the foo.com page. When you type bar.com, the browser connects to the same IP, but sends: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: bar.com Depending on the Host: header, the server decides on the DocumentRoot and DirectoryIndex (apache directives :-), and serves that page.
