Hey I have got a VPS which I have installed Apache on so I can do some web development. Say I have a domain name. How would I link that to the Apache server.



I am running Ubuntu 16.0.4

          in your DNS you make an A record that points to your VPS ip
          that's it.



          your website will be in /var/www/html
          add your website stuff



          open up VIM (or the editor of your choice)



          sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf


          change your ServerAdmin to your email



          sudo service apache2 reload


          to restart apache and you are good to go

          • Is it just the ServerAdmin I need to change? Also is it the email I used for the domain registration?

          • ServerAdmin, not necessarily the one you used for the domain registration, anything better than having it as webmaster@localhost You may also want to add/change the ServerName www.yoursite.com
