################## OK, this next section will make the required directories, and if that succeeds, it changes the directory to apache. if THAT is good, then it will echo the data to the vhost config file.
#################### If THAT all goes well, it restarts httpd, and your vhosts should be up and running!
mkdir -p /var/www/vhosts/$DOMAIN && chown apache:apache /var/www/vhosts/$DOMAIN &&echo "$DATA" > /etc/httpd/vhost.d/$DOMAIN.conf && service httpd restart
