CirrostratusCan I Publish web sites using LTM?
Actually I only have BIG-IP LTM & ASM, can use it for web publishing, to publish many web sites over a single ip address?

Yes you can.
If using a single VIP then you need to consider how the traffic goes to the correct web instance. If they applications themselves are hosted on different backend servers then you'd need to create an irule or use HTTP Class/Local Traffic Policy to direct different requests (based on Host Header) to different pools (whose pool members host the application).
Else, if the applications are all on the same pool members then the web server itself (e.g. IIS) should be able to distinguish the request and forward to the correct web instance.
If using SSL, however, then you will need to consider the certificates. You may need a wildcard or SAN certificate on the virtual server or, if supported, use SNI.
Hope this helps,
