+===== Configuration of a Virtual Host =====
+In the example configuration the \\
+^What ^Configuration ^
+|Domain Name is: | paywyw.com |
+|The webserver's Host OS is: | Ubuntu |
+|The Apache webserver's IP is: | 176.34.101.53 |
+== 1. Parking and redirecting ==
+After registering and parking the domain by some registrar (in my case Godaddy) redirect the domain to your server. \\
+To redirect **all subdomains** to the webserver ip use the wildcard: '*' \\
+To redirect **the domain ** paywyw.com itself to the webserver ip use: '@'
+== 2. Creating the new domain ==
+Under **/etc/apache2/sites-available** do add a new file which will represent the new Virtual Host:
+Here are some example Virtual-Host files listed:
+{{http://i43.tinypic.com/nldab7.png}}
+To add a default Virtual Host, which will handle redirects from any Domain do add a file named **default**
+(and <fc #FF0000>enable the virtual host as shown in step 3</fc>).
+All redirects, which are not matched by any VirtualHost Entry will be handled by this VirtualHost.
+<code>
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+        DocumentRoot /path/to/the/website/available/under/paywyw.com/
+</VirtualHost>
+</code>
+To add a default Virtual Host, which will handle redirects from a concrete (sub)domain do
+(and <fc #FF0000>enable the virtual host as shown in step 3</fc>)
+<code>
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+        ServerName subdomainname.paywyw.com
+        ServerAlias www.subdomainname.paywyw.com
+        DocumentRoot /path/to/the/website/available/under/paywyw.com/
+</VirtualHost>
+</code>
+== 3. Enabling the new Domain on the Webserver ==
+Do run the command and pass the name of the file, representing the VirtualHost as parameter:
+<code>
+root@irony:~# a2ensite default
+Site www.example.com installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 reload to enable.
+root@irony:~# a2ensite subdomainname.paywyw.com
+Site www.example.com installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 reload to enable.
+</code>
+Or just create a symbolic links in the folder **/etc/apache2/sites-enabled** to every file in the folder **/etc/apache2/sites-available**. The name of the link should be the same as the name of the file.
+<code>
+root@irony:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default
+</code>
