Virtual hosting
A virtual host is located at an address other than www.win.tue.nl, for example wwwooti.win.tue.nl or olympiads.win.tue.nl. It is still hosted at the same physical machine, which also serves www.win.tue.nl.
We have support for a very limited number of virtual hosts, in accordance with the domain name registration guidelines. Before applying for a virtual host, please consider using a subsite of the form
http://www.win.tue.nl/subsite
which is in most cases much easier to manage and implement.
If it is still deemed necessary to implement a virtual host, please let us know as soon as possible. Most of the changes will affect your URLs so this is easier to implement before the world links to the old location.
Besides moving the directories (and therefore URLs), we will also have to notify the domain name owners. Again, see the domain name registration guidelines for advice, which you would do well to read before spending other money or time.
Pages for a virtual host should be located at
/info/www/virtualhost
instead of the usual
/info/www/win/subsite
