Following steps is not include installation of apache2.

sudo nano /etc/hosts

#add line

3. Grant permissions to 'www/example.com/public_html'

sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/example.com/public_html -R

sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/example.com

4. Creating Vhost file.

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available

cat default > example.com

nano example.com

#add line after ' ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost'

ServerName    example.com

DocumentRoot   /var/www/example.com/public_html
