Usage

In this use case we will be trying to create an Nginx site for the following domain: example.com along with the www extension: www.example.com

Run ./addSite.sh
Enter the domain name example.com (reminder: the domain name must point to your server)
Add another domain by typing y
Enter the domain name www.example.com
Stop adding domains by typing n
Choose the default site directory by pressing enter
Give it a couple of seconds
Voilà !

Now by accessing your example.com and www.example.com you should have an SSL enabled site that you can modify by changing files in /home/username/example.com
