with abyss, can i have more than one website?

I need to know if abyss supports having more than one website.
if so how is this possible? don't i have to have seperate ip addresses for this to work? all i have is a dsl connection. I used zoneedit for my dns, and had to enter an ip address. if this is so, i would only assume that i can't have multiple sites with that same ip.
please help.
thanks. travis.

I'd recommend reading up on DNS. http://www.howstuffworks.com/dns.htm
In short, DNS servers map domain names to IP addresses. So really, when you go to google, you first send a request to a DNS server for google's IP address. Your browser then sends a request to the specified IP address for google.com. You can have many websites all pointing to your one IP address - it just costs a little money for the domain names.
There are some tricks to getting Abyss X1 to host more than one site. I'd recommend buying Abyss X2. It supports "virtual hosts," meaning "multiple websites". I have quite a few sites on my server. You can take a look at http://24.223.150.17 .
