Small change of phrasing on the vhosts index page. A reordering of the
main links in order to put the less commonly used stuff to the bottom of the list. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@95887 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

<h1 align="CENTER">Apache Virtual Host documentation</h1>
<p>The term <cite>Virtual Host</cite> refers to the practice of
- maintaining more than one server on one machine, as
- differentiated by their apparent hostname. For example, it is
- often desirable for companies sharing a web server to have
- their own domains, with web servers accessible as
- <samp>www.company1.com</samp> and
- <samp>www.company2.com</samp>, without requiring the user to
- know any extra path information.</p>
+ running more than one web site (such as
+ <samp>www.company1.com</samp> and <samp>www.company2.com</samp>)
+ on a single machine. Virtual hosts can be "<a
+ href="ip-based.html">IP-based</a>," meaning that you have a
+ different IP address for every web site, or "<a
+ href="name-based.html">name-based</a>," meaning that you have
+ multiple names running on a single IP address. The fact that they
+ are running on the same server is not apparent to the end user.</p>
<p>Apache was one of the first servers to support IP-based
virtual hosts right out of the box. Versions 1.1 and later of
- Apache support both, IP-based and name-based virtual hosts
+ Apache support both IP-based and name-based virtual hosts
(vhosts). The latter variant of virtual hosts is sometimes also
- called host-based or non-IP virtual hosts.</p>

details of virtual host support in Apache version 1.3 and
