hi, welcome to virtualmin forums.

You should upload your pages to domain users folder. For example if your domain is prettywebsite.com your location where you upload your files would be /home/prettywebsite/public_html - you do not need to upload nor touch /var/www. Virtualmin does not uses /var/www at all.

Regards hostname you can use anything which will identify your server on your network.. you can use something like I do: host.realdomain.com or box.realdomain.com - realdomain.com means some real domain your purchased somewhere. Once again, it could be anything, same for host. or box.

I hope so it helps somehow.

Configuring/troubleshooting Debian servers is always great fun
