When ftp was first concieved it was only possible to host a single ftp server on any given box. A method to increase the hosting density from one site per server to many sites on a given server grew. This many to one mapping is Virtual hosting.

Densities of hundreds of ftp sites per serving machine are not unknown on today's Internet.
