WampServer

The question that I have is:

What is a good sructure for serving multiple website?

Since you have short question, I have a short answer for you, it's Virtual Host.
Hope this help,

Thanks, yes it did help a bit. I am so new to this, but I realy want to host my clients sites on a local server. I am using a T1 with unlimited ip adresses. If you are familiar with this and have any guidence for me, please let me know.

Firstly, WAMP is for development not for business, so be careful, you're warned!

There are 2 ways to set up VH, IP base and Name base, and no matter which way you like, you still need DNS, you can start with some free ones out here, I personally like zoneedit.com. Since you have unlimited IP, you can use the first way, check more info here:

[httpd.apache.org]

For Name base, you can check this simple sample here:

// Edit in httpd.conf, almost in the end of file

// Begin VH setup

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.jlbn.com
ServerAlias jlbn.com
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www/JLBN
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName forum.jlbn.com
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www/Forum
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName ftp.jlbn.com
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www/FTP
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mail.jlbn.com
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www/Mail
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName testsite.jlbn.com
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www/TestSite
</VirtualHost>

// End VH setup

Associated with these sites:

Web server: [testsite.jlbn.com]

Mail server: [mail.jlbn.com]

FTP server: [ftp.jlbn.com]

Forum: [forum.jlbn.com]

Hope this help,

you will also need to setup your domain names DNS using a dynamic ip dns service.

Thanks CyberSpatium, not quite clear as you did, but I did mentioned DNS as seen in this quote "no matter which way you like, you still need DNS, you can start with some free ones out there, I personally like zoneedit.com", and if do a little search will find zoneedit handle DNS for domain. Anyway, diguzsem you try it, then post back here to inform us how it goes. Also, if you use router and firewall, you do need to enable port forward in router and ports accessible in firewall such as 80 for webserver, 21 for FTP server, 25 for SMTP and 110 for POP3 for Mail server (both SMTP and POP3), so on.
Have fun,
