I have a general question about nginx
Let say you don’t have a domain first, but you already fired up your droplets. You already success setup Nginx in your droplet.
But your plan is to host 2 website in the droplet So the first website is done, assuming the default nginx page is the first website.
Now, how can i host the second website? Remember for now i still dont have the domains. What to put in the nginx configuration (server_name) for the second website?
For the first website, i already use “server_name localhost;”
What sould i put for the second website?

Just add some bogus domains to your ‘hosts’ file in the droplet. set up nginx using those. Then add them to your client machine ‘hosts’ file also. Now your bogus domains are available to you only and work in nginx.
Have you taken a look at this tutorial: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-nginx-virtual-hosts-server-blocks-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts--3”>How to Set Up nginx Virtual Hosts (Server Blocks) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS</a>?
i did, but that tutorial assuming you already have a domain, or point to ip address. Its not answering my question here
