 ### Per-VIRTUAL_HOST
 
 To add settings on a per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` basis, add your configuration file under `/etc/nginx/vhost.d`. Unlike in the proxy-wide case, which allows multiple config files with any name ending in `.conf`, the per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` file must be named exactly after the `VIRTUAL_HOST`, or if `VIRTUAL_HOST` is a regex, after the sha1 hash of the regex.
