Ubuntu Server As a Webserver

[Intel]

Hey there so I've been trying to setup an old server to host a few websites. Its been mostly going fine but I'm really confused on how to point the domains at the server? Any help on the matter would be apreciated

[ubuntusuperuser]

is the server being hosted at home (through a firewall)

or are you confused about making your domain name go to your ip address?

[Intel]

Yeah its being hosted at home, I'm mainly confused about pointing the domain name to my ip address and how that's going to work with multiple websites being hosted. I'm used to having someone like hostgator hosting the server and it was pretty much plug and play.

[ubuntusuperuser]

you have to port forward in your router port 80 and 433 (http and https).

are you talking about how you web server knows which website to send back?

[Intel]

I'm talking about how the Web server knows which website to give back, I've setup the Apache file structure with the 2 websites but I'm a bit lost on anything past that.

Okay thanks! I think I'll be able to figure it out from here.
