Let's me give you an example: Blogger.com.
You can create a CNAME in domain DNS to point it to ghs.google.com. After config in blogger's cpanel. Your domain is good to go. You can go to blog.mydomain.com and it will point you direct to your blog.
I'm have a debian/apache2 VPS.And domain tienganhratde.com. I want everyone can point there CNAME to service.tienganhratde.com and they'll see the content of a folder on my VPS. How can I do that?
I solved the problem.
Point your default apache/nginx to your app folder
Use Server uri to know which domain are connecting to your website.
Check within your database and show to suitable page

I've been googling for a bit now, and I really cant seem to figure this out. I recently bought a domain name with google domains, that I wish to point to a sub domain on my web-server, (example) http://120.0.0.0/sub-folder/, while apearing as domain.com.
Right now I have mbektic.com forwarding to http://138.197.5.88/mbektic/ which kind of gets what I need done, but I wish for the URL to say mbektic.com, instead of the ip address of the server.
Now I've been looking around and I've found things mentioning things from creating records to .htaccess files, and honestly I'm completely lost.
If someone could point me to a straightforward guide or give me a list of steps to follow, I can do it myself, but currently I am just lost.
This really belongs on unix.se since it isn't programming...
That said, what you need to do is set up a DNS A record pointing your domain name to your IP address. Add a second one to handle www.example.com
Then, on the webserver, configure it to respond to that name and serve content out of the directory you specify (the apache webserver calls this the DocumentRoot - you may want to look up apache virtual hosts .... )
So I have a service that allows my user to map their own subdomains to my server. For example
http://sub.userdomain.com will map to http://sub.mydomain.com
Now I know that the user must add a CNAME record that points to my subdomain, but using Apache & Cpanel, now I have to add an add-on domain for this connection to work.
Is there a workaround so that I don't have to set up this add-on domain for the connection to automatically connect? (Basically so that my user can point their CNAME to my subdomain and it then automagically works without me having to do manual input).
Hope that makes sense!
No, You need to add addon domain on your server so that cPanel will create entry in apache configuration to work that domain.
I am currently working on a CMS type of site where users can create websites on my server.
I want to be able to create subdomains for the user's website for them to see the preview.
The next step would be for users to be able to point their domain name to my server, and when users go to the domain it would go to their own designated folder on my server.
How would I go about doing this automatically with php, I have been looking for solutions with no avail.
I currently have a Virtual Server with hostgator. Please advise, or point me in the right direction. Any solutions are welcome as well, I am pretty much stuck at this point.
Thank you very much.
EDIT
For example, if my domain is www.mydomain.com, when a user makes an account, the subdomain username.mydomain.com is created. Later down the line, if the user buys the domain name www.userdomain.com, I want to make it so that if www.userdomain.com is entered, it shows what is on www.mydomain.com/userdomain. The URL should still show www.userdomain.com
The answer is depends on which web server you are using ?(apache / nginx or any other)
You need to have separate directory for each sub domain you created
In your virtual host configuration you need to match the host name and get the subdomain as a parameter to set the root directory for your host name.
CNAME is also possible but if you can tell your web server there is a possibility for detailed answer.
im wondering and looking around for a possibility of a wildcard/catch all domain setting. I couldnt find anything online so ...
I basically want every domain that points to my site via an A-Record and which gets requested, to display my htdocs default folder.
At the moment every request for a domain that isnt setup as a webspace gets redirected to the default site. <- Thats not what I want.
Does anybody know a solution for this?
Thanks :)
I have Plesk 11.5.30 with Apache running
Do you mean you want to create wildcard subdomain on your domain ? Please have look at https://kb.plesk.com/en/2239
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to servers, so I need some help. Basically, I want to have a subdomain on my VPS. I'm not too concerned where the files reside, though of course I would like them separated if possible.
I found a guide to doing this that basically sums the procedure up in five steps:
Create directories to host the content of a new virtual site.
Make a copy of the /etc/apache2/sites-available/defaults file with a site appropriate name.
Change the two /var/www/ entries to the actual directory of the new site.
Add the ServerName line with the real domain name you will be hosting.
Use a2ensite to enable the new site, and finally reload Apache2 so it knows about the new site
I tried all of this, but I can't get it to work. I didn't get any errors at any point during this process, but when I enter the address with the subdomain into my browser, I get a "Server not found" error.
The company that hosts my VPS has an admin page where I can set up subdomains. Stupid question: do I have to do reconfigure the DNS records or something while doing this, or is it likely that the problem is caused by something else?
Additional note: I followed a guide on howtoforge.com when setting up the server, which in hindsight may not have been the brightest move on my part. It is possible that I made a mistake there that is somehow affecting me now?
Assuming you've setup the subdomain correctly in your VPS' admin page, the only thing left to check here is that you've actually created the subdomain in your DNS administration page (have you?). For example, I use afraid.org to manage my DNS records and to add a subdomain, it's essentially:
Type: A
Subdomain: sparky
Domain: example.com
Destination: 120.34.2.3 (this would be your VPS' IP address)
In general, you add a (sub)domain by:
sparky.example.com A 120.34.2.3
Please keep in mind that you want to add an A record (this is important!).
