I'm trying to set up my own vps hosting. It wont be a paid service, just an experiment for me and some nerdy friends.

What I'd like to be able to do is this: Run multiple virtual servers on 1 external IP. These servers can run anything from Minecraft servers to simple http servers. They will also need to be accessible thru SSH.

What I don't get is how I can address these servers using domain names. I've done some research and found out that I could use Vhosts with Apache. However this only applies to http servers. It was also suggested I'd use a reverse proxy(squid) but this also only applies to http requests.

I could just use different ports for different servers, but thats not ideal and not what I want.

Can someone suggest a setup? Maybe some tutorials or anything.
