How do I create a sub-domain on a dedicated VPS server?

Procédure

What is a sub-domain?

A sub-domain is always composed as follows:

Prefix + Domain name

example: boutique.lws.fr

Sub-domains are very useful for dividing a site into several distinct sections, each with a clearly defined address. They also avoid having to use folder names that are too long.

For example, http://forum.lws.fr is a sub-domain of http://lws.fr or http://boutique.lws.fr is also a sub-domain of http://lws.fr

How do I add a sub-domain to a dedicated VPS server using ISPConfig?

In this article, we will look at how to redirect a sub-domain to a directory on the main site. In our example, we are going to point the sub-domain boutique.monsite.com to the boutique directory of the site monsite.com.

Your panel will write the rewriting rules for the Web server (Apache). Once you're logged in, in the Sites tab, select the Sub-domain heading, then New sub-domain:

Fill in the form with the name of the directory you want to use (here boutique) and the main site (here monsite.com):

The types of redirections correspond to the operations that can be performed in an .htacess file.

You can also insert a sub-domain as a website.

Once you have done this, you must indicate that the subdomains point to your server.

How do you link your subdomains to your dedicated VPS server?
