Setting servers and subservers with ovh

[mic]

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version	Ubuntu Linux 20.04.4
Virtualmin version	Version 7.1

Hi,

Just installed Virtualmin on a VPS at OVH.

My system hostname is vps-…
I have a domain domain.ovh

I’d like to make a website reachable at domain.ovh

And 2 other websites reachable at :
site1.domain.ovh
site2.domain.ovh

1. What is the best practise? A new server for each or a server for domain.ovh and subservers for site1-2?

2. May someone explain me how to do it from OVH and Virtualmin?
   I can’t find any tutorial explaining clearly how to.

Thanks for your help

Hello @mic and welcome to the community.

Just installed Virtualmin on a VPS at OVH.

It is essential that you install Virtualmin via Automated Virtualmin Installation – Virtualmin. This enables the community to assist you effectively and it is also the easiest way to install Virtualmin correctly.

A new top level virtual server for each domain. A new virtual server can be created via Virtualmin → Create Virtual Server

I don’t use sub servers unless there is good reason to do so. You could avoid sub servers in the beginning of your journey with Virtualmin to keep things simple. Later, if you wish to convert a top level virtual server to a sub server, you can easily do that (and vice versa) via menu options in the Virtualmin web interface.
