    Hello,

    I have a test environemnt with only one public IP address. Is there away I can host more than one website behind the same IP using ISPCONFIG. Im guessing normally each client would have their own IP address. IS this a correct assumption? Thanks

    The assumption is not correct. today, you dont use a dedicated IP for each client anymore. you can host a unlimited number of websites on a single IP in ispconfig. Ok, not quite unlimited but more the 2 million which should be enough for most cases I guess.

    For my own understanding how does that work?

    This is called a namebased vhost. apache and nginx decide by domain name which content is shown and not based on the ip address.
