Answer 1

First create website/store/store views structure in Admin/Manage Stores Then for each website server (or if the websites are under the main url like www.test.com/website1) create directory website1 on the server, copy to it .htaccess and index.php file. In the index.php change last line Mage::run('WEBSITE1CODE','website');
