I have spent the past 5 or so days googling and asking on various IRC channels, but I can't seem to find an answer. Before I ask the question, I'll give what information I think is relevant, since I'm not quite sure what is needed. If any more information is required, please let me know. Anyways, I bought a vps through DemonVPS and a domain name (for the sake of clarity, lets call it example.io) through godaddy. I pointed the A file (of example.io) at my vps' IP, and set the rDNS of my vps to example.io, and have apache all setup on my vps. So basically, I have a fully functional website. Now, I want to setup the following things on my vps:

  • A Teamspeak3 server
  • An IRC Server (mostly for testing purposes of an ircd)
  • An IRC Bouncer (ZNC in this case)

I can do all of these quite easily, but the issue is connecting to them. Each of them I have to connect to using "example.io", and I want each to have a unique subdomain (ie ts3.example.io, irc.example.io, and ichat.example.io respectively) that they can only connect to through that. I have scoured the internet, but every tutorial I found was either how to setup just the server, or how to setup subdomains in general, and as to that I have gotten mixed answers about needing apache or not. Any help in setting up subdomains for each of these applications would be most appreciative.

You not need apache on server for subdomains. You need apache only for web. Enough is to create record on dns server, probably on godaddy.

ichat.example.io A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

type of record is A

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is ip of your server

When anybody will to go on your irc server practical will connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:irc_port.
