This tutorial covers Virtual Servers, Sub-Servers, and Aliases.
Virtual Server -- a Virtual Server is an account in Virtualmin, that includes a website, email, and FTP access all associated with a domain name. Virtual Servers have an administrator account called the Virtual Server Owner
. The Virtual Server Owner can create additional email addresses, ftp accounts, and websites, subject to the limits set by the Reseller or Master Administrator who created the Virtual Server.
Sub-Server -- Generally created by a Virtual Server Owner, a Sub-Server is a a secondary domain name setup within a Virtual Server, with it's own domain name and set of email addresses and FTP accounts. A Virtual Server can have as many Sub-Servers as the Reseller or Master Administrator allow.
Alias -- an alias is a way of making a domain name act exactly like another. If you have two domains, example.com
and example.net
, and you want both to have the same website, you would set example.net
to be an alias of example.com
.
