I want to have artwork.mywebsite.com instead of mywebsite.com/artwork. How can I make it happen?
I own a Ubuntu 14.04 x64 droplet.
My droplet has everything from the “Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu 14.04” tutorial.

Hey there,
You would create a virtual host for the artwork.mywebsite.com domain pointing to a different folder than your mywebsite.com’s document root. This tutorial reviews setting up virtual hosts (multiple websites) for Apache running on Ubuntu.
You would also need to create an A record in your DNS zone pointing artwork to your IP address.
Happy coding,
