Very simple. Just do these:

1. In the sites-available directory of Apache, make a copy of yoursite.com file and rename it subdomain.yoursite.com . Replace “subdomain” with the name your want to call the subdomain.

2. Edit subdomain.yoursite.com and modify the ServerName line to show the url of the subdomain and the DocumentRoot line to show where the files for the website will be.

3. enable the subdomain using a2ensite subdomain.yoursite.com

4. Restart Apache.

5. try to access the site from a browser.

The procedure is very simple.

There are two things to do.

first, you need to create a DNS record for your subdomain under your domain like this:

Create A record: hostname -->subdomain and IP address is your droplet IP

Create CName: Name --> *.subdomain and Hostname is (in this example case) --> subdomain.domain.com .

And the second part to create a vhost for your Apache at site-available

if you use new version of Apache, then you may need .conf at the end of your site vhost link

remember to give your DNS some time about few minutes to 2 hours to propagate so it becomes valid.

Good luck!!
