Ubuntu – Where to put www directory on Ubuntu

directoryUbuntu

I'm a bit scared to ask this because I got so many negative votes for simply asking a question last time, but here goes;

Where in the Linux (Ubuntu) directory structure is it 'normal' to put public and private website files.

Say I have a server and I want directories;

mysite1.co.uk/
mysite1.co.uk/www/
mysite2.co.uk
mysite2.co.uk/www/

where would they normally be put?

Update: I'm using Nginx (not Apache).

Under /var/www. But this is not a convention you have t follow. You can put them wherever you want, as long as Apache has access to it.
