Congrats - You run a web site on your Raspberry PI. <br />
How do you plan to deploy it? <br />
Do you want to access it only from your private network? Is it a home network or a business network? <br />
Do you want to access it from the Internet? <br />
<br />
You will have to deal with 3 configurations: <br />
a. A DNS server must point the subdomain somewhere<br />
b. Depending on the type of your network (see questions above) you may have to configure your router<br />
c. Your Apache must recognize the new subdomain<br />
<br />
Regarding Apache - the default Apache config is server name and subdomain agnostic. Any FQDN pointing to the server where Apache runs will be served. So, assuming your PI has address of 3.14.15.92, you may have <br />
mydomain.com<br />
www.mydomain.com<br />
another.subdomain.anotherd<wbr />omain.com <br />
all pointing to 3.14.15.92, and all will be served exactly the same default configuration by Apache. <br />
<br />
You only need virtual hosts defined when you want different content for different host names.

How do I create a subdomain in apache2 for a domain that I am hosting on my Raspberry Pi? Next, how do I set up the A record to point to the subdomain?

Create a subdomain on apache2

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.

Apache Web Server

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Web Services

The Raspberry Pi Foundation works to put the power of digital making into the hands of people all over the world, so they are capable of understanding and shaping our increasingly digital world, able to solve the problems that matter to them, and equipped for the jobs of the future.

We provide low-cost, high-performance computers that people use to learn, solve problems and have fun. We provide outreach and education to help more people access computing and digital making. We develop free resources to help people learn about computing and how to make things with computers, and train educators who can guide other people to learn.
