Short post, many concepts.
- DNS connects server names to IP Addresses.
- A Web server can handle several server names on one IP Address.
Apache httpd calls these virtual servers.
- A website has content.  Basic websites associate a URL with a
content file under a root directory.  Multiple websites can access the
same files with different root directories.

You must:
1. Add foo.example.org to your DNS.  (I do not know GoDaddy's control
panel. Ask GoDaddy.)
2. Add a virtual server in httpd.conf setting the DocumentRoot to the
correct subdirectory.
<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName foo.example.org
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/foo
</VirtualHost>
