The DNS entry should look like:

onshuus  CNAME  www.student.utwente.nl.

On the www.student.utwente.nl web server you need to configure a virtual
host onshuus.vgst.net whose DocumentRoot is ~vgst.  You'll have to check
the documentation of the web server software to find out how to configure
virtual hosts.
