By using the GET HTTP HEADER command in a database's On Web Connection method a developer can effectively run a website with different homepages for different groups of members. This is referred to as virtual hosting.

In this case the web server would use multiple different DNS names for only one IP address. Calling the GET HTTP HEADER command with the parameter "Host" returns the host name portion of the URL, which corresponds to the DNS name.

From here the developer can use the On Web Connection method to direct users accessing the website with different DNS names.

Note that the On Web Connection method is not called in the case of static web pages existing in a database's default HTML root folder.
