What are the differences between Apache Virtual Hosts and Aliases in the context of PHP projects?

When working on PHP projects with Apache, Virtual Hosts are used to host multiple websites on a single server, each with its own domain name and configuration. Aliases, on the other hand, are used to map a URL path to a specific directory on the server, allowing for easier organization and access to files within a project.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example
</VirtualHost>

Alias /images/ /var/www/example/images/
