If you will be hosting from the same box, it does not matter.
You configure apache as to what hostnames it will answer to.
You also specify for each virtual host where the root of that
host resides.   You can also specify a port for each host.

a.example.com:80
a.example.com:443    <- a is accessible via both http and https

I think that it can also be done via Listen directives.

b.example.com:80     <- b is accessible only via HTTP
c.example.com:443    <- c is accessible only via HTTPS

HTH,
