Technically: Each name resolves to an IP address. Many names can resolve to one IP. The browser contacts that IP address and requests a page, including the server name entered, eg 'career.abc.com'. The web server decides how to handle that request. A web server can be configured to respond to requests for different names in different ways. It can serve a completely different website for each name, running a separate web application for each one, each with a different document root. Alternatively, it can send all requests to the same web application, or some mixture of the two. Django is not a web server, but can be used with all common web servers to achieve any of the scenarios above. You can run several distinct and different web applications, one for each name, or one application could service many names. It's more common to serve many sites from one django app if all the sites are versions of the same thing, for instance, forum1.abc.com and forum2.abc.com.
