This is a useful bash script that will let you save time creating vhosts for you.
It supports both ubuntu and centos (be careful to write ubuntu or centos in lowercase).
Instructions:
mkdir ~/scripts && cd $_wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattmezza/vhost-creator/master/vhost-creator.shchmod +x vhost-creator.shsudo ./vhost-creator.sh- follow Instructions
or for the most adventurous just run curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattmezza/vhost-creator/master/install.sh | sh to install it globally for your user (you can use the script afterwards with sudo vhost-creator)
Don't forget to add a A record from your DNS pointing to your web server IP address.
You can also mv the script to a system wide bin folder or add it to your bash profile.
