So What EXACTLY Counts as a Virtual Host?

Because each Freedom server provides a specific allotment of virtual hosts that can be hosted, you may be wondering what counts as a virtual host and what does not. We define a virtual host as an additional domain name or canonical that points to a separate set of Web files; in other words, a virtual host has its own distinct document root.

Domain names that share the document root of an existing virtual host, and therefore do not contain their own Web files, are sometimes referred to as "domain pointers." Domain pointers, which are often used to catch multiple spellings of a domain name, do not count against your virtual host allotment.
