Say you own the domain, "example.com", and you have the following names: www.example.com ftp.example.com mail.example.com dev.example.com news.example.com test.example.com and you want the following: ftp.example.com to point to /home/web/ftp dev.example.com and test.example.com to /home/web/test www.example.com and all others to point to /home/web/www You can do it for each of the domain names for a total of 6 entries, or you can do something like: <VirtualHost ftp.example.com> Servername ftp.example.com DocumentRoot /home/web/ftp </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost dev.example.com test.example.com> Servername dev.example.com DocumentRoot /home/web/test </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *.example.com> ServerName www.example.com DocumentRoot /home/web/www </VirtualHost> Keep in mind that the order for the above is important (most importantly for the *.example.com entry. Here's why: If you put the *.example.com entry before any of the other "VirtualHost" directives, when something comes in for dev.example.com, apache uses whatever the first match is. In the example above, it would correctly pull it from /home/web/test . On the other hand if *.example.com is before the entry (either first or second on the list), it would match that entry and incorrectly use the page from /home/web/www, instead of the correct /home/web/test -- essentially ignoring any further entries.
