So please excuse my squirrelly ignorance, but I'm trying to search for information on remoting into my Proxmox Server GUI and other Web server Applications, but I don't know the correct "Term" or "Definition" I'm looking for. So for example I am hosting a wordpress site, currently my domain name points to that site, but I also want to install nextcloud on the server. I know I can use Apache VirtualHosts for redirecting at the point of the server, but the idea was to have something like:

www.cloud.domainname.com

or for the proxmox gui redirect

www.pve.domainname.com

Though what is it called when you add that additional part before the traditional domain name?

I want to look up any info i can on what that is exactly called so I can figure out how exactly how it applies to DNS records, if I just add an additional CNAME etc. So that when it is directed to my IP address I can then use VirtualHosts to redirect to the correct port, directory, IP etc.

Again I apologize for being a noob at this, and would definitely do the research, but it's hard to look anything up when you have no idea what you are trying to get info on is "called" or "referred too"

Thanks for the consideration.

Managed to speak to someone who clarified the term as "Subdomain" I am now getting the search results as needed, sorry to trouble with such a simple question.
