sites-available directory

The /etc/apache2/sites-available directory holds configuration files for Apache Virtual Hosts. Virtual Hosts allow Apache to be configured for multiple sites that have separate configurations.

Configuration files will contain the Directory directives specifying the location of the site and features you have set up for it. The 000-default.conf file contains configuration directives for the default Web server, such as the directory directives locating the default site at /var/www/html.
