Sure, but in a hosted situation, that may cost you money. Regular Web
space on a vhost can be down to $3/month, an extra IP can cost you more
each month, or bump you up into the $35/month end of the spectrum.

Plus, Apache might not be set up to do IP-based vhosts.

Name-based virtual hosts are simple, and often people aim for the lowest
common denominator, or they don't have enough admin experience to do more
than that.
