The typical way to host a new domain or subdomain under Ubuntu/Debian is covered in this tutorial. Here are the basic steps:


Create the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.example.com.conf with contents based on this template:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
ServerName owncloud.example.com
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /home/www/owncloud.example.com/htdocs/
</VirtualHost>

Put your index.html and other files into /home/www/owncloud.example.com/htdocs/
Run the command sudo a2ensite owncloud.example.com to enable the configuration for the site
Run the command sudo service apache2 restart to restart the web server
