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

Question

I am a front end designer and I have very little experience with how to host a website. I somehow stumbled through the console and FTP clients and got a few websites up and running but I want to create a proper infrastructure so I can easily get my sites up in the future.

Anyways, my question is, (how) can I host multiple websites with different and/or no CMS on one server?

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 PS: If it works click that hearth to show me some love

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 :) –RegardsSaurabh Servopia.com Managed Cloud Hosting For PHP Applications
