For your enlightenment. Setting the HTTP(S) server to servername.net/~aimaa and having it work is what is weird. This is not a servername. It is a URL (or URI for those so inclined).

The servername is the portion before the first '/' . Everything else is a directory path of the resource found on the server (including the '/')

The "~" is a shorthand method of specifying the *servers* home directory for any given user. Typically this would be something like /usr/home/ but on systems with lots of users it could be something like /usr/home2/a/b/c. This is not something that users can set. It is set by the server administrator according to their needs.
