Site management
The RaQ XTR is designed to host multiple virtual sites. A virtual site is an
individual location on the Internet, such as www.abc.com or www.xyz.com. Each
virtual site can have a unique set of users who can send and receive email,
publish Web pages, or upload and download files through FTP. A virtual site can
also provide anonymous FTP access and SSL.
The RaQ XTR server can host a large number of IP-based virtual sites. The
number of sites depends on the amount of hard-disk-drive space available on the
server, the amount of hard-disk-drive space allocated for each site, the amount of
traffic generated on each site and the amount and complexity of the dynamic Web
content on each site (for example, ASP, CGI, PHP and others). Dynamic Web
content on an individual site induces a much heavier load on the server than does
static content.
Under Server Management > Site Management , you can create and manage
virtual sites hosted by the RaQ XTR. A table displays the virtual sites on the
RaQ XTR; see Figure 54.
The main site of the RaQ XTR (the host name and domain name displayed on the
LCD screen) also appears in this table; the trashcan icon in the third column for
the main site is grayed-out (disabled), as this site cannot be deleted from the list
of virtual sites. The options and features available on a virtual site can also be
configured for the main site.

✍
Note: A virtual site can be name-based or IP-based. If there are
several name-based virtual sites on an IP address, only one
name-based virtual site can use anonymous FTP and SSL services.
