How They Differ:
- Sub-server vs. Alias: An alias just points another domain name (e.g.,
example.net) to the same website content and users as the parent (example.com). A sub-server hosts independent content and users. - Sub-server vs. cPanel Subdomain: Unlike traditional hosting panels, Virtualmin treats subdomains (like
blog.example.com) as separate virtual servers if you want them managed independently, rather than just a folder structure.
Creation Process:
- Go to Create Virtual Server in Virtualmin.
- Select the parent domain from the dropdown.
- Choose the Sub-server option.
- Enter the subdomain name (e.g.,
blog.example.com) as the domain. - Set up its admin, password, and other settings as you would for any new serve
