[Cialug] Hosting web sites

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

They all can. What you are talking about is a function of your apache
configuration and not the OS. You can google "apache virtualhosts" for
more information.

There isn't any differance in the config for "commercial" or "personal"
sites,  although, an ISP may tweak some apache and/or filesystem
settings for a heavily loaded webserver.
