I just wanted to quickly say I dislike /var/www.


Installing Web applications /var/www and serving them with urls like:

example.com/myservice

Is really outdated. It really should be:

myservice.example.com

Served off some sort of vhost structure such as:

/srv/www/myservice.example.com




vhosting functionality is what sets Debian's Apache apart as Web
application platform and it should be promoted. I hope MyServer supports
it too.

Best wishes,
