Run WCF ServiceHost with multiple contracts

Running a ServiceHost with a single contract is working fine like this:

servicehost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService1));
servicehost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMyService1), new NetTcpBinding(), "net.tcp://127.0.0.1:800/MyApp/MyService1");
servicehost.Open();

Now I'd like to add a second (3rd, 4th, ...) contract. My first guess would be to just add more endpoints like this:

servicehost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService1));
servicehost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMyService1), new NetTcpBinding(), "net.tcp://127.0.0.1:800/MyApp/MyService1");
servicehost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMyService2), new NetTcpBinding(), "net.tcp://127.0.0.1:800/MyApp/MyService2");
servicehost.Open();

But of course this does not work, since in the creation of ServiceHost I can either pass MyService1 as parameter or MyService2 - so I can add a lot of endpoints to my service, but all have to use the same contract, since I only can provide one implementation?
I got the feeling I'm missing the point, here. Sure there must be some way to provide an implementation for every endpoint-contract I add, or not?

What about splitting it up with a base address and multiple services/contracts below it? I am not behind a developmachine right now but something like:

http://myserver/myservices/serviceA
http://myserver/myservices/serviceB
http://myserver/myservices/serviceC

Each service implementing its own ServiceContract.

You can change
public class WcfEntryPoint : IMyService1, IMyService2
to
public partial class WcfEntryPoint : IMyService1
public partial class WcfEntryPoint : IMyService2
