Hullo Julien,

I've written quite a few nginx.confs over the years (too many — a Guixy
front-end would be great!) and have never encountered the term ‘vhost’.
Of course, that proves nothing.

However, a web search for ‘vhost site:nginx.org’ returns the following
as a first result[0]:

   Note: “VirtualHost” is an Apache term. NGINX does not have Virtual
   hosts, it has “Server Blocks” that use the server_name and listen
   directives to bind to tcp sockets.

I don't use Apache, so that explains that.

Kind regards,

T G-R
