Can I host both Wordpress and non-Wordpress sites on the same VPS?

@jasjitsm I am so sorry. Maybe my Tutorial was a bit confusing. So I decided to create a new one. The new one has a better style and is much easier to understand as it are just pictures with a better resolution (step by step). Now you just need to type the same commands as I have done.

Download the Tutorial (.zip file)

Hello,

I created a Tutorial.

Just one note, I wanted to make it easy as possible, so 99% are just Pictures :-).

The Tutorial. 36h available :-(

If you want, i may create a snapshot and transfer it to you. I just need your E-Mail address. It is even possible to create a text-version or video if you want

@jasjitsm

1. You don’t need to create rules, “server_name example.com;” is enough.

2. Just download and extract WordPress. Create a MySQL Database. Open your Browser (with Domain !!!) and follow the Installation Guide.

PS: If you don’t know how to create a MySQL Database just ask and I create a Tutorial (complete install of WordPress) for you (with Pictures)

So here you go. We are going to use Ubuntu and Nginx

##Install the Software

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql nginx php5-fpm

##File Structure

mkdir /var/www/html/domain1
mkdir /var/www/html/domain2

##Nginx Configuration

Domain1

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain1

Copy and paste this

server {
        listen   80;
     

        root /var/www/html/domain1;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name example.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
        }

        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on the php-fpm socket
        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
                
        }

}

save it

Domain2

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain2

server {
        listen   80;
     

        root /var/www/html/domain2;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name example.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
        }

        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on the php-fpm socket
        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
                
        }

}

save it

##The last Step

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain1 /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain2 /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Why Nginx ?

• It is much faster
• Easy to manage

Hello and welcome to DigitalOcean.

You can host different websites on one Droplet.

I need more information to help you.

1. What is your OS e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS ?
2. What Webserver do you use, e.g. Nginx, Apache ?
3. Should these Websites be on different Domain Names ?

Well, though it is been answered in quiet a bit of a detail, just wanted to add, that a VPS is meant for this purpose. You can host an array of different CMSes on the same server with just a restriction of resources like CPU, RAM & Disk Space vis-a-vis your visitors to these sites :)
