Solution

If I undestand your 2 similiar question correctly you have already setup 5 Virtual Hosts for your testing purposes.

So lets assume you have example1.dev and example2.dev ... etc setup as Virtual Hosts like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/example1/www"
    ServerName example1.dev
    ServerAlias www.example1.dev
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    <Directory  "C:/wamp/example1/www">
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/example2/www"
    ServerName example2.dev
    ServerAlias www.example2.dev
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    <Directory  "C:/wamp/example2/www">
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Now if you want Apache to serve your .tk domains you need to setup a new Virtual Host for each of the new domains. I would personally suggest that you put these sites in a different folder so you still have your test domains as well as your live domains. So using example1.tk and example2.tk you would create a new Virtual Host for each domain.

Start by copying each domain to a new folder, better still a folder that is not in the \wamp\ directory struture at all. Lets say C:\websrc for example. Then create the new Virtual Hosts in addition to your test domains like so :-

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/websrc/example1/www"
    ServerName example1.tk
    ServerAlias www.example1.tk
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    <Directory  "C:/websrc/example1/www">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted             <- to allow inet access
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/websrc/example2/www"
    ServerName example2.tk
    ServerAlias www.example2.tk
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    <Directory  "C:/websrc/example2/www">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted             <- to allow inet access
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Now Apache knows what to serve when it see's your .tk domains.
