Michael,

Sure you can have lots of hosts/domains pointing at one IP number, 
then each needs a virtual host entry,

If your ISP's DNS server is your DNS server, then that should stay in 
the prefs. You will need to have DNS entries for each domain/host - 
contact your ISP about that. Once thay have set up the DNS entries, 
you should have no problem adding the individual hosts to the WebTen 
virtual hosts.

If the ISP does not want to do DNS for additional hosts, you can do 
it yourself in WebTen, although you will need to have secondary DNS 
from somewhere - either your ISP or by trading with someone else.

Are the domains registered yet?
