title: How to achieve versioned WebApi at /api/v1
body: <p>I want to build a versioned WebApi into an existing MVC project so that my URLs could be</p>
  
  <pre><code>/api/v1/account
  /api/v2/account
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do not use Areas at the moment but after some research I thought this could work for me but apparently you cannot nest <code>Areas</code> (Im currently using MVC4 but can upgrade to 5).  </p>
  
  <p>How can I best achieve this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
