Create a new virtual host for Phproject by creating a new file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phproject.conf
Add in the following code. Make sure to replace your_domain_name with the domain name you are using:
<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName your_domain_name
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phproject/web
<Directory /var/www/html/phproject/web/>

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
