 To add a new vhost, for example the domainname [www.example.com](http://www.example.com), to your configuration, you can simply run the command `hypernode-manage-vhosts www.example.com`. This will create a new vhost configuration in `/data/web/nginx/www.example.com/`, using the Magento 2 template.
