Apache2 Virtual Hosts Guide for Subdomains

Question

I am trying to set up a subdomain that serves a different website that what my main domain name serves. I am using Debian Stretch.

www.domain.name > my website
application.domain.name > separate application

I read up about virtual hosts, but it seems to only specify for completely different domain names. Are there any meaningful differences and how should I configure my A records as well? I am very new to website hosting and any advice is appreciated.

Those are completely different names. I'm not sure what your question is? — Michael Hampton, Oct 18 '18 at 04:19

It's the same whether the second website is in the same domain or a completely different one.

Straight from the apache examples page

# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80
Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/www/example1"
    ServerName www.example.com

    # Other directives here
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/www/example2"
    ServerName www.example.org

    # Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
