WIX + LAMP under one domain

I’m trying to get my head around a problem and hoping for some clarity I have built a basic LAMP site running on a VPS. My client also has a site built on WIX (online website builder)

I would like to get both sites running under the one domain name. Perfect solution would be (though I don’t believe is possible):

example.com - WIX
example.com - WIX
example.com/y - LAMP
example.com/z - LAMP

My next idea would be to use subdomains:

www.example.com - WIX
xyz.example.com - LAMP

Is any of the above possible when trying to work with WIX and LAMP setups without spending lots of money on something like nginx? Or do I just have to use different domains?

Solution

I am not familiar with WIX ecosystem but I think that the path of least resistance is to just setup a subdomain using DNS records.

Refer to your DNS manager, but basically you just want to add an A record.

Your DNS records might look like

example.com.       A    1.2.3.4
www.example.com.   A    1.2.3.4

So you will just need to add

xyz.example.com.   A    5.6.7.8

If your DNS records are managed by WIX, I found the proper documentation.

By the way, Nginx open source is free. Nginx plus is a paid service that includes some goodies on top. Blog post Feature comparison
