Hosting two domains on one host?

Are there any tutorials or websites that explain how to do that? How would I go about seeing if the host I use supports this, and then swapping over the domains to point to those folders?
IE.
I want something two entirely seperate domains such as www.thisreallygoesnowhere.com and www.neitherdoesthis.com both hosted at the same place.
Im just an ignorant arteest so I don't really even begin to know how to look this up.

DNS handles name resolution and the webserver application (apache/IIS/wtf) uses host headers to figure out what content to supply. So host1.com and host2.com both point to server IP 10.9.8.7, the server knows that host1 goes to the 10.9.8.7\1\stuff.html files and host2 goes off the 10.9.8.7\2\diff_stuff.html files.
You can also easily set it up so that both hosts 1 and 2 point to same set of content files. Example - if you go to IBM.com or IBM.org it forwards you to the same content.
