How to make a new subdomain on a Debian VPS (Host Europe), with an apache2


Apache Config:

Config Site:


cd /etc/apache2/sites-available


New Config:


cp 000-default.conf yourSubDomain.yourDomain.tld.conf


Let it at minimum look like this:

cat yourSubDomain.yourDomain.tld.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourSubDomain.yourDomain.tld
DocumentRoot /path/to/your/subdomain/source
</VirtualHost>


Enable site:


a2ensite yourSubDomain.yourDomain.tld.conf


Restart Apache:


service apache2 restart


HostEurope DNS Config:

  1. Log into KIS
  2. Produktverwaltung
  3. Domainservices
  4. Domain-Administration
  5. Nameserver- / DNS-Eintraege bearbeiten
  6. Edit your chosen Domain
  7. Create new "A-Record" with the subdomain name... linked to the Domain IP

It may take some time 'till the dns is updating his records... in doubt, sleep over it... :)
