title: How to host multiple websites on a Standard Azure Websites Instance, Is this a Web Hosting Plan?
body: <p>I want to host many websites in my Azure Standard Websites instance. Apparently one could put hundreds in, although I do not plan to.</p>
  
  <p>As I understand it the "Instance" container is a VM, and web processes within these get recycled if idle. Are these VMs/Containers the same as "Web Hosting Plan", and therefore is the method to add a site to a Standard Instance via Add Website, Choose Web Hosting Plan and that is it.</p>
  
  <p>So My question: Is "Web Hosting Plan" the same as VM Server/instance, and if so is my logic above correct for adding multiple websites to a VM Server otherwise known in Azure parlance as a "Standard" or "Basic" Website instance?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
